No. She seemed convinced of what it was and not being there seem to make it too late to ask. I'm guessing you are doubtful of the assessment?

Thanks for the replies! I do appreciate the time taken. He did see a vet today. I wasn't allowed in the office due to covid. The vet thinks it is an abscess. They used a needle to aspirate it. The vet said they got puss and liquid from the lump. The lump defiantly decreased in size. They also...
