Lump on throat, swollen chin & mouth?

[AndreaM]

I noticed my sphynx's face looked weird today so looked closer and found a lump on her neck/throat!!! It's round, smooth, size of a large pea, and "moveable" under the skin. Her chin and sides of her mouth are also swollen. I will get her to the vet, but of course today is a Saturday, and I'm not thinking this warrants a trip to the emergency vet.

Any ideas? I'm going to be so worried until I get her into the vet's office. Photos attached showing the swollenness on her chin/corners of her mouth,the lump, and a bad, blurry photo of her normal self (with the red blanket) from a few months ago.

I forgot to mention, she's also seemed to gain some weight suddenly in the past month, and her sides seem "firmer" -- almost like she's retaining water? So I had planned on a trip to the vet anyway next week. She's also been dealing with what we think is ongoing irritable bowel issues and is on Tylan powder.

When looking at the pics I thought it could be a pimple under the skin. But after reading your story maybe it's a swollen lymph gland? But I'm no vet so it's only a guess.
Was it winter at your place the last months? My crew tends to gain weight during winter.
