I agree that fluid is more likely, but is it just under the skin or in the throat. In the throat would suggest a respitory infection under the skin could also be a serious skin infection, and not necessarily benign. if the throat doesn't have fluid it could be gas, implying gastroentris. If it was me, I'd take it to a vet during an outbreak and have some test done. if fluid can be extracted it can be tested for bacteria etc. Any vet can handle taking the sample and sending it to a lab for testing. As far as the results are concerned, you can do your own research based on what you find, if you don't trust the vets judgement.
