Re: weird bulge
no
it's not hard and it doesn't seem to bother her when I put pressure on it the other female parietalis has it to a lesser extent and only on one side

Re: weird bulge
Hmmm....not sure, has she always had this or did it just appear? I'd definitely keep on eye on it and if it gets irritating or gets worse, I'd see the vet about it.

Re: weird bulge
I showed it to Sean, who thought they were fat deposits
hm Sammy's double chin . . . parietalis with love handles . . . it's a good thing, I've cut down on their food let that be a lesson to you motherly types there is such a thing as too much food I have been guilty of it and we're still recovering
