Lump under jaw/tongue

[Cobbychic]

Dylan has been wearing a greenguard muzzle for past month and in the last few days I've noticed a lump under his tongue/jaw. It's hard but can be pushed as its on soft tissue. Any ideas? Was planning on getting vet if doesn't improve over weekend

probably a gland, my horse had an inflamed gland in that area which went down after a week. get your vet out if you're worried though, sometimes its worth the vet bill to have the peace of mind

Could be a gland although could he have been scratching himself on a fence and perhaps trying to get his muzzle off? One of my previous horses came in with a lump under his jaw and turned out to have a big splinter in it from a roughly sawn fence rail. Could also be an insect bite maybe. Would call the vet if you are worried.
