I had the vet out last Friday to rasp the little pony I took on. She had never had her teeth looked at before & she was shaking her head around a lot. The vet said they were sharp teeth at the back & she had to sadate her to do it.
Today I saw a lump under her jaw. It is soft & when I was feeling it, it didn't course her any pain at all. I called the vet & she spoke to me on the phone & asked a lot of questions & in the end said it could be a virus. She said there is a lot of horses coming down with virus. I don't think it is a virus & it is more to having her teeth rasped.
Has anyone here had a problem with their horse or pony after having their teeth rasp.
The vet said to call her out if the lump gets any bigger or painful.
I'm worried about her & hoping it goes down by the time I go to her in the morning.
I am hoping someone on here might know why this as come up.
It sits in between her jaw bones in the soft part & is right at the back of her jaw just before the neck part.
Any help at all please

It does sound like a lymph gland up which would mean either an infection or yes a virus.

How old is the pony.

Does she have any other signs or symptoms.

Thank you Pauline, she is about 4 years old. I was told she is over 5 yrs but the vet said more near 4.
There is no other symptons at all. She is eating & doing all the other stuff she loves doing. Running around, rolling & wanting a good brush lol There is no discharge form her nose or any coughing at all. I am keeping an eye on her all the time. There is someon with the horses most of the day & she seem fines at the moment.
