The lump was suctioned and what the syringe got was like blood.

@Alexandoy It doesn't sound serious. Good.
I hope your dog will be fine.

Did the vet say why there was fluid build-up in your dog's neck? Was it an infection, or is there something more serious wrong with the dog?

The vet did not explain very well so my wife called our vet (whose clinic is far). There was no explanation either, just a natural occurence like a cyst.

@Alexandoy Okay, if they feel comfortable that it was only a cyst, then there's probably no further reason for worry. How's the dog doing now?

Our maid noticed the lump this morning when they are giving the dog a bath. My wife decided to bring to the vet immediately.

Our dog is 8 years old. I am quite worried today because the lump is still there. It may have come back.

@Alexandoy What could have cause it? sometimes lumps can be alarming already it is a sign that there’s something wrong with them.

@rsa101 it's not painful though. Maybe it's like a cyst which is natural.

It is like a cyst but not mass inside, just fluid.

@Alexandoy Oh, ok. Kind of like when people get a cyst. There isn't always a reason.

She is actually a healthy dog that is why we were in panic.

@freelancermariagrace this morning the lump returned but now it is subsiding in size. She is okay though, acting very normal.

The lump is there again today so maybe we have to bring our dog back to the vet today.

It's good to know that things are looking better for your dog now. Did the vet mention any reason for the lump? I hope there should be nothing to worry going forward.

@Alexandoy I wonder why the vet wouldn't have discussed the reasons with you. I guess it would be better to ask during your next visit so that you can see to it that you can avoid this from happening again as far as possible.

The vet's usually test the fluid to check what it it. It's helps in deciding the proper course of treatment. Hope your vet has prescribed antibiotics for your dog and it subsides fast.
Wishing your dog a speedy recovery.

You are right. There is an anti-biotic that was given.
