Is it normal to feel a bone or lump in my pet's neck or chest?

Question

Is it normal to feel something here (pic) I’m not sure if it’s a bone or what. Is it like her throat bones?

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

You might be feeling the manubrium, which is the top of the sternum, in this area. A little higher up are the bones of the larynx and hyoid apparatus. https://www.k-state.edu/organismic/cat_skeleton.htm
