I am sorry to hear about rocket! We can have a firm swelling when an abscess or pocket of infection is first developing. We can also have a swelling as a granulomatous or inflammatory reaction to something like a foreign body (such as a splinter or grass awn). We can also have tumors develop suddenly. I would recommend having Rocket’s vet re-examine him to check out this swelling.
