Can I feel my dog's popliteal lymph nodes? What's their normal size?

Question

Are popliteal lymph nodes easy to feel on a 22lb dog? And how small are they normally? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

These lymph nodes are generally easy to feel on any dog. They are generally about the size of a small lima bean but this does vary from pet to pet. If you were not sure if your pup’s lymph nodes are normal, have them examined by the veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
