i have 2 puppies who seem to both have a lump on one side of there jaw, i would say its their glands, however they were seen by a vet 2 wks ago and this lump was not present. also their mother is losing all her fur, she as not nursed the pups for the last 3-4 wks. do you have any suggestions on what could be wrong. All pups and mom are full of live and showing no sign of pain eating and drinking fine too. i dont understand it

Re: the lumps, it's hard to say without more information. What is the exact position of the lump, how big is it, and is it hard/soft/mobile/immobile? Has it become larger since it appeared and how quickly did it appear? Are the lumps on both pups identical? If they are enlarge glands it probably indicates an infection somewhere in the mouth on the side which has an enlargement. The fur loss in the bitch could be hormonal, allergic or an infective skin problem. Is it scratching and/or rubbing her hair out, or is it falling out? How long has this been happening for?
