| Lumps at base of jaw? My yorkie, Oliver, is about 23 weeks old. We have noticed that he has movable, soft, non-painful lumps at the base of both of his jaws. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this and is it just his glands or something serious? They are about the size between a nickel and a quarter. |

| Probably lymph nodes. I would take him to the vet for an exam. Often they are not a big deal, but they definitely should be looked at. Welcome to YT!

| It could be his salivary glands, my Momo has swollen ones. Got scared bc I thought it was his lymph nodes & vet said they're in close proximity. He felt all his other lymph nodes on Momo's body & they were not swollen. Momo did have a fine needle aspiration on the salivary glands when he went under for his dental cleaning & got 3 small back molars pulled last year. It came back as salivary tissue, but his glands are still swollen. Not sure what's going on but vet did mention that it can be allergies too. Hope all goes well for your pup!
