  Hi buns,
  
  I felt a tiny hard lump in Lemon’s chin area. The lump is very small and buried in fur so I can’t really get a good look. The area is dry for sure. Could this be a abscess?

  Abscesses are usually pus-filled and near the surface, so if the lump is hard I wouldn’t guess an absess. Is it on the surface, or inside? Does it appear to be free-moving, or attached to something?
  My guess is it is probably some sort of cyst. I would book a vet appointment so you can find out for sure.

  Thank you for your reply. It is not free-moving. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again!
