Dogs have lymph nodes throughout their body, many of which are not able to be seen or felt from the surface. Some of the commonly assessed lymph nodes include the prescapular (in front of the shoulder), inguinal (in the flank folds) and popliteal (behind the knee). However, there are lymph nodes along the intestines, between the lungs, along the inside of the backbone, etc.
If the knots are at the base of the back of his skull on his neck they are lymph nodes and are possibly swollen due to some type of infection. Either way, you need to take him to a pediatrician immediately. === Occipital nodes are the lymph nodes you're referring to. They can be felt on the back of most infant's heads. If swollen, does baby have baby acne or cradle scalp? Is there a pimple on the scalp or bug bite? Sometimes an external ear problem can cause these to swell. We all have 1- 3 nodes on each side of our head in the 'hair' area.
The lymph nodes are all over the body and each area or region is drained by its group of lymph nodes. They do not pass through one node but they drain in the thoracic duct which ultimately opens and drains in the large veins of the neck on the left side
Loss of lymph nodes from surgery on the affected side often causes poor drainage from the arm on that side. This is why there can be hand and arm swelling.
