I got Lumpy a few days ago. She is only 2 months old. 2 days ago I noticed a lump, looks like a huge pimple
under her chin. She is eating and still very active. It does not hurt her if i touch the lump.
Can someone please help me? What should I do?

The picture didn't display. But lumps under the chin are often cervical lymphadenitis, which is a very contagious problem. She needs to see a vet to have it lanced and drained, and then you need to follow up with flushings several times a day and oral antibiotics.

It could be, and those lumps can rupture. I'd definitely get him to an exotic vet.
