Horses Home

I have a seven-year-old Tennessee Walker that recently developed a lump under her jaw by her neck. It is two inches in diameter and soft to the touch. She has all her vaccinations and wormings. She has been very healthy, active and eats well. She does not show signs of stiffness or soreness.

We would suggest you have a veterinarian examine the horse. The lump could be the result of numerous causes. It could be an impacted molar, puncture wound, or disease. If the horse has a yellow discharge from her nose, it could be strangles.
