I just got a new baby girl Saturday from an accidental litter I found on CL and noticed two days ago she has a lump on her throat under her chin (like a big Adam's apple) it seemed to pop up pretty quickly and is bigger than it was the first day I noticed it.
One of my older girls had an abcess in the same spot and I'm hoping that's what it is, I find it odd such a young girl would get an abcess but maybe it's from a tooth or something?
I'm not sure if I should wait it out or take her to the vet or not. My older girl took care of it herself and popped and drained it while we cleaned it with saline after and she was fine. Not sure with such a young one though. I don't really have an exotic vet to go to so in a tiny bit weary of getting a less knowledgable vet plus my new baby is still skittish of me so I don't feel confidant taking her anywhere and don't want to scar her and undo the 5 days of trust training...
(I would add photos but the forum won't let me and says its too big for my quota??)
Suggestions?
