Hi there. It’s likely not life threatening but the lumps should be checked by a vet. It could be a salivary gland, a lymph node or a true growth. Your get can test what types of cells are in the growths and give you a diagnosis and advice on what to do from there. Best wishes to you and Rosie and thanks for using Pet Coach.
