Default Re: Swollen scent gland

I agree. Sometimes scent glands on the tummy area seem lumpy or swollen but just need a wee clean with warm water and a cotton ball. If however you norice any small cysts or warts on or beside the actual gland that don`t seem normal, definately have your vet take a look as these can be scent gland tumours. But are easily removed if caught while small and have not spread internally. If the gland is just line shaped and a bit thick when running your finger over it gently, this sounds fine. Difficult to say when not avtually seeing or feeling it though.
