neiko has a lump

WeeKidsMom · Senior Chi

Well, it's hard to even guess without knowing where the lump is. I hope the vet finds out that it is nothing bad. Please keep us posted!

I think you better take him on to the vet pretty soon. If that is the whole lump under his little chin that is a pretty significant lump. Could be just a cyst tho since it came up rather fast or infected gland. But you better get on to the vet with him.

Oh Jamace, I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this with Neiko. Have you been able to take him to the vet yet? If so what did the vet say it is? I know Anne had a Rotty that had a lump under his chin and it was a benign tumor. They didn't want to do surgery on him because of his advanced age and it didn't bother him. He lived for several years after that too. I don't know if tht is what Neiko has or if it could be some kind of a bug bite. Please let us know as soon as youcan.
My oldest chi, Prissy gets lumps that are soft on her shoulder but they go down after a day or two. I made an appointment with the vet but by the time I got her in there it was gone. Se toldme to bring her in the next time without making an appointment. So now I just wait, and hope it doesn't happen again.
I'll keep you and Neiko in my prayers and hope for the best.

OMG my heart sank when I read your subject line. Have you got him into the vet yet? I think the sooner the better, always better to just be sure I think. PLEASE let us know soon how he is doing. I'll be praying for him and for you.

here is an update. neiko is fine. and the lump has gone down. it had gone down this morning and more during the day its almost all the way down tonight. i did take him to the vet and showed the vet the pic since the lump wasn't that big anymore and the vet said it was an alergic reaction to something. the only thing i fed him last night that wasn't his normal food was chicken skin. so that could have been it i don't know. i just need to be careful in what i feed him. no more chicken for now thats for sure. thank you guys for all of your support. gosh with domino , my man probs and then neiko i was about to go crazy. at least one thing is settled

Thank goodness all is ok. I was so happy to read your post. It is so scary when things like that happen.

I am so glad that everything is ok with Neiko. That is one less stress that you have. Now just give him a big old hug.

Glad to hear Neiko's feeling better

Just a thought for you - think it could be a bug or spider bite? I have a lab that if she gets even a mosquito or black fly bite she swells in that spot drastically.
