No, but it may have caught its leg in something for awhile, causing it to swell. My cat that did this then had skin and tissue dying (he turned out ok). Check in with a vet on this one.

Cellular damage and genetic factors influence the formation of cancer. Swollen lymph nodes may be a reaction to cancer, or it may be a reaction to an infection.
