she is 8yr bull mastiff, FN, very fit, a little bigger than cherries but like 2 cherries stuck together feeling. (maybe thats whats happen, shes swallowed 2 cherries!)

no other signs at all.

I do look for things on her, always poking and prodding

Submandibulars are always palpable (as are pre-scaps and popliteals).

If she is fine in herself, maybe has an underlying infection of some kind? If it hasnt changed in a couple of months, personally, I wouldnt be worrying about it, but worth keeping an eye on.
