My little Maude went in for a teeth cleaning late last year and they found this right at the back of her tongue. It was quite large and was the cause of her rather bad breath as it turns out.
Since then we have swapped her to a hypoallergenic diet and she has had two steroid injections over I think 3 months.
After a few weeks we noticed her runny eye that vets always put down as allergies stopped running and her fur was in much better condition so I’m assuming they were linked all along.
she hasn’t had a steroid now since early January and we have noticed that her fur getting greasy and her eyes running a little bit.
In an ideal world I don’t really want her to have steroids anymore than necessary due to potential side effects, but I can’t help but feel they made a big difference. She is only 5 and otherwise is good health and full of beans!
As the lump is still on her tongue, I can only see it when she yawns so only briefly. She is due to go back in some time for her teeth clean again as they didn’t do it before because of the lump so the vets can hopefully have a good look then. They did say it could have left scar tissue?
has anyone else dealt with this condition? And if so, what did you find helpful?
Maude is on the Royal Canine Hypoallergenic biscuits and Wellness Core pouches.
thank you

she is definitely more of a biscuit lover and I did wonder about just giving her some salmon or other meat instead of wet cat foods, but I will discuss with her vet also.
