So, fun. My cat had a cleaning where she had to have1 tooth removed due to it trying to be reabsorbed into the gums.
She gets this soft mass under her jaw and I brought her in too be diagnosed as above. Cervical mucocele (or sialocele). She biopsied it to find it filled with saliva. On the side she removed her tooth. She drained it, said she not have to come back again for it to be repeated.
But within a week, we're back to it being the same size again. I cannot take this cat to the vets every week. Not only will it get costly, but car rides are seriously traumatic for her. She has a large dog kennel she goes in because every thine she has diarrhea and pees and throws up at least once. She also over salivates to the extent she looks like she's a kitty Santa!
I've read they can do surgeries and that's to remove their salivary gland. But that seems awful. Don't they need that? She's a dry good kitty and will rarely touch wet food. I've tried everything. So she would really need those things, no? I'm at a loss
