Maybe a lymph mode? Brady has a 'floater' in his cheek area that I thought was a lipoma but ended up being a lymph node.
I'm kind of bummed. The Benadryl didn't do anything. I gave him 3 pills. I guess we're in for a vet visit...

Sam had his vet appointment this afternoon. She thinks the lump is a blocked salivary gland. She wants me to give him Benedryl every 8 hours for 2 days (4 capsules) and Rimadyl (anti-inflammatory) (1 pill twice a day for 4 days). If we see improvement in the size of the lump, we'll do nothing. If it's still the same size after 4 days, she wants me to bring him in for sedation and aspiration of the lump. I hate more wait and see...

You might want to give a dose of Pepcid an hour or so before the Rimadyl to avoid tummy upset. Sending good thoughts for Sam.

Hoping the Benadryl would work. Sending more good thoughts.
Hoping the medication clears this up. Thinking good thoughts for Sam.
Sending good thoughts and hope it disappears!!
Sending good thoughts! My first thought was a bug bite too.

The vet thinks its a blocked salivary gland. She wants us to try a few days of benedryl and rimadyl to see if we can get it to go away. If not, sedation and aspiration of the bump. It's still the same size today but he only had one dose of the meds in him when I left for work.
