Hi everyone.
Yesterday I took my cat into the vet as he had been drooling a fair bit over the weekend and had barely eaten.
I had to leave him there so the vet could get a second opinion.
Upon picking him back up i was told that he has a blocked salivary gland.
And that there is a large lump growing underneath he's tongue on the left side of he's mouth, pushing he's tongue to the right.
He was given 2 injections, one was a type of steroid and the other an anti inflammatory.
(He has had the same injections before about 3 months ago, but for he's food allergies).
We are going back fri/sat to have it looked at again and if there's no change it will have to be drained.
I've been trying to research why he'd get something like this, but I'm just lost.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so what caused it :-(
Sorry for the long post. I'm very worried and have never heard about this before.
