Are these lumps large and under the jaw ( that could indicate a tumor or enlarged salivary glands)or are they small, like seeds, over then neck (that can indicate allergic skin disease)?

I would want your vet to look at these lumps soon to see if they are anything to worry about. Under the neck are a lot of lymph nodes that can get big. Some can be pea sized and some get as big as a golf ball.
