Question
I have a 3 year old pit bull, he has a about a softball size lump on the side of his neck, what is up?
Victoria -
You should have your pet examined by a veterinarian. Without the benefit of a physical exam I am unable to give you a indication of the cause of a lump on his neck. It may be a swollen lymph node or even a bite from an insect. Have him looked at by a veterinary professional to determine what is affecting him.
