I am so sorry that your pet is not doing well. The swelling is likely due to infection (bacterial or viral) or an inflammatory response to some kind of allergy. There are lymph nodes on the neck near the jawline. I would definitely get Runiyah seen by your vet to have this swelling looked at and also to get her temperature to make sure she is not running a fever. I do hope that your fur baby feels better soon! Best wishes and take care!
