Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Jiggy! I am concerned that the swelling in his groin is a lymph node, a mass or an inguinal hernia. I recommend having an ultrasound or an X-ray to see if it is a hernia. If it is not a hernia and they think it is a lymph node or a mass then have a fine need aspirate (FNA) or sedated him to do a wedge biopsy of the swelling/mass. I would also have full blood work done and his urine tested. I hope this helps and I wish Jiggy the best!
