It sounds like a fatty lump or absess id get it checked out if no better in a day or so. How old is Tux.

by any chance is he microchipped?

Microchipps can be felt under the skin and sound exactly as you describe - they can also migrate all over the body so theyre not always at the back of the neck!

If not its likely to be a cyst or fatty tissue, best to have it checked out though x

if he has recently been vaccinated and the lump is more or less at the back of the neck, it'll almost certainly be due to the vaccination.

I would think it is a result of the vaccination, in which case it will most likely disappear on its own within 3 weeks or so.
