Hi everyone,
What is the typical size of a popliteal lymph node for a dog weighing around 37 lbs?
Is it roughly the size of a pea?
Thanks.

Hello,
In a dog weighing around 37 lbs (approx. 2 stone 9 lbs), a normal popliteal lymph node can indeed be felt and is roughly the size of a pea to a small hazelnut, depending on the dog.
You should normally notice symmetry between both sides, an absence of pain when it’s touched, and its mobility under the skin (which also depends on your dog’s body condition). The most important thing is comparing it to previous checks, especially to monitor any increase in size.
I’m not sure what your specific concerns are, but if it becomes large, hard, painful, or is accompanied by other symptoms (limping, lethargy, skin lesions, etc.), it’s best to have it checked by a vet.
Have a good day,
Maëlla
