My house dog gets lumps behind her jaw bone. I rushed her to the vet the first time and it turned out to be a piece of dog food. She still has it happen from time to time. You can massage it out pretty easily. Hope this may help you!!

Might want to make sure it's not an absessed tooth.Had that happen before.

I just had one that I felt a lump on the jaw . turns out the jaw was broke. she ate and ran fine. she had a bad infection and the vet took out three teeth and a piece of the jaw. open the mouth as wide as you can and get a good look. I tried to figure mine out for a week before I looked back in far enough.
