I was shocked this morning to find that Rikkyboy, my 4 and half year old Coronet, has a big lump or mass under his chin. It obviously hurt him when I was having a gentle feel of it. He has either been keeping it well under disguise amongst all his hair, or it has grown big very quickly!
I thought he had been a little quieter lately, but he has been eating well and acting normally. I will check him over when I get home from work just in case I panicked and imagined he had something other than a fat, double chin.
But I am worried and have booked an appointment at the vet for this evening. I am guessing that it might be an abscess .... just keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't a tumour! :'(
