Lymph nodes
« on: June 26, 2017, 03:52:37 PM »
Hopefully I am just being paranoid but I can feel Millies lymph nodes under her jaw line. They are the size of a small marble. As far as I can remember I have always been able to feel them (well over a year ago when I first noticed them) and I am pretty sure they haven't grown at all but Murphy doesn't seem to have any that I can feel at all.

My wife mentioned it last night and now I am starting to worry.

Is it normal to be able to feel them?

I don't have any experiences to offer but hoping it's nothing to worry about. A vet visit might put your mind at rest.  ;)

could just be tooth related or something else very simple - try not to worry and may be speak to a vet to put your mind at rest

Just a short update.
I took Millie to the vets today to check her over and thankfully everything is fine. It turns out it is her salivary glands that I can feel and not her lymph nodes, which are right next door.
Better to be safe than sorry though.
