Welcome to Pet Talk CandeeWish it were under happier circumstances
At first I was thinking perhaps a swollen gland, but it sounds to be farther up the neck, more localized in the chin area. My other thought was too an ingrown hair follice, but without a centralized point, no sign of inflamm. or swelling, it's hard to tell. Perphaps tomorrow the swelling may come to a head and then there's a good chance it's a localized inflammation. Is there any chance he could have gotten bitten by a bee or bug? The head tilt part has be baffled, though the sweeling in his neck may be causing him discomfort. If Bongo's eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, playing, no fever, I think you can wait until Monday. Though I'm like you, a real worrier, so I understand your concern. If Bongo begins to appear unwell, lethargic, not eating, drinking etc., I probably would give the ER vet a call tomorrow. But in the meantime, why not just keep an eye on it and wait until Monday. Hard, I know
Please keep us updated and definitely let us know what the vet says on Monday. Hugs to you Bongo!!!
