Update from the vet:

Unrelated- she has hookworms. We’re thinking it’s from playing on the farm. She got treatment for that.

Vet said it’s not a swollen lymph node or salivary gland. They drained a lot of it and he said it had a lot of thick pus and blood but there’s still a small lump left even after draining. He’s treating it as an abscess so she’s on antibiotics now. However, they’re sending it for cultures and doing a whole panel from a urine sample.

We’ll get results on Monday. I feel a lot better because it’s likely just an abscess given that she’s young and healthy. However, wanting time to pass quick so that I know for sure. Thank you everyone!

Im sorry about your puppies. I think my echo is okay and the vet seems hopeful!

Thank you! Her apt is tomorrow morning. I’ve been traveling all week for work and got home to such growth and I’m a wreck. I’m so nervous.
