Why are my dog's lymph nodes swollen? Is it arthritis or snow?

Question

SHARE Hi - My dog Rolf has swollen lymph nodes in his right hind leg and abdomen. We are in Mammoth and he has been playing in the snow - he has a little arthritis can this cause Inflammation and the nodes to swell up? Thanks Charlotte. Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | unneutered | 85 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Arthritis will not cause lymph nodes to swell. If Rolf is eating and drinking you can wait to see your vet when they open tomorrow. If he is acting sick, I would take him to an ER vet to find out why the lymph nodes are swollen. Good luck and kisses to Rolf!
