Gland?

drop her off at the local spca for rehoming if ya too fucken tight to give your dog medical care.
welcome to owning a dog.
Sweet as.
Most likely lipoma in my unqualified opinion.
If the lump is external to the throat, then have a closer look to see of there is an entry point on it. If so then it's an infection, caused by anything from hook grass seedhead to it's last fight with a possum. Anyway, it's a vet trip.
Going from that it desricbes it exactly about the feel and how to dog behavesQuote:

...then I read the rest of the posts...
Get her to the bet Toby.Quote:

Good stuff that you took her, Tobes. Always great to check these things out. I've been lucky with Jet - only had to take him twice in two years (my army "mate" fed him chocolate once, another time I think Jet ate some shark on the beach or something when I was out shooting feral cats!). My mother's dog has had some serious issues with seemly harmless lumps under her skin.
I hope Pip comes right very soon. :)
PS - set up a bank account that you chuck a little bit of money in each pay, name it "Pip's Account".......better than bullshit pet insurance. Thank me later.
Think I might do that thanks DougieQuote:

Shouldn't drink bee rise with antis Tobis
Haha heres a wee story I found funny.
The vet said to keep an eye on her when she eats them there was two to make sure she ate them. One was a round pink thing the other looked like a puppy bikky. Any way she showed me how to force feed it while I was thinkimg yeah yeah I know what Pips like
Lock up time at 8.30 for Pip so before I take her out I get a small bowl put 4 bikkeyss in it then throw the pills in and watch her scoff it all up. The last one was one of he pills and she sat there trying her hardest to get it but her nose kept pushing it around haha. Got ther in he end anyway
Stick the pills in a piece of cheese.
Why? Is the cheese a bit blue?Quote:
