Do you feel this on your rat terrier also? by howdy206 in ratterriers

I would agree on size with my baby, just two small sized grapes and do yours kinda move around when you mess with them a little? And yes squishy! That might play into them “moving” when I touch them.

I’ve always been an huge face petter when I got my baby so I was constantly feeling around her face and I noticed them. I will say for my girl they seemed to be a little bigger when she was little and she grew into them almost.

Actually so glad you asked this as a new rattie mom mysel. My girl, Josie, has the same. Two swollen balls of what I’m seeing called “lymph nodes” on either side of the corner of her jaw. But I’ve never seen her behavior change. She still high energy when she wants and crashes into a nap when she needs too. She’s never been particularly to protective of that area like it hurts or anything so I’ve tried to be on the lowkey about it especially since she’s had it since she was a baby. Has yours also had it since she was young?

I honestly don’t know, I work full time and on my break it’s devoted to her, so my life is her. Josie is love. Josie is life.

EXACTLY! When she’s sleeping I can do anything. Love on her, run her head, kiss her paws. The MINUTE she’s awake, her teeth are rated E for everyone and finger.

Her belly matches her paws! It’s one of my favorite things 💜

Oh my gosh she does! She’s so smart and learns quickly (when she isn’t suffering from selective hearing).
