I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this.

The swelling is not prominent enough to see but when I woke up this morning I pet the top of Kavik's head and his Occipital (raised ridge-like bone between the ears that runs to the back of the head) felt enlarged. It's hard like a knot. He's not acting weird but I know how dogs can hide pain and injuries.

There is a puppy that he plays with everyday and I've seen him smack the back of his head on wood floors while rolled over and rough housing. I'm suspecting head trauma but I'm not a vet. my own vet can't see him for a few days and I don't want to go to the emergency vet if I can help it so I'm looking for any similar experiences.

Thanks!

Did you get into the vet? If he has been bumping his head it could make a knot, very much like when we hit our own head. If it hasn't gone away after the few days it has been then I would make a trip in, but most likely it should go away on its own.

Sorry I never responded. The swelling went down on it's own.
