My 5 yr pomeranian is hacking and holding her mouth open. I noticed a swollen neck gland. Should I be concerned?

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, I do think you should be concerned. Any swollen lymph nodes are reason for worry. Especially if she is also coughing/hacking. I cannot say for sure what is going on without an in-person exam. I think you should take Harlena to your vet as soon as possible for an examination so you can get her the correct course of treatment. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
