Rottweiler Throat Issues

Hey there! I’m sorry to hear Sammy isn’t feeling well. Now, I’m not a vet, but I can give you a few ideas about what might be going on. One possibility could be that he’s got a simple throat infection, which might cause some swelling. Another could be that he swallowed something he shouldn’t have, and it’s stuck in his throat.

However, because Sammy is a bit older and this is a lump in his throat, it could potentially be something more serious like a tumor. It’s really important that you get him checked out by a vet, they’ll be able to give you a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
