greysmom Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Late update Monday night: Cash is spending another night in the hospital. She is doing very well and resting comfortably. There was nothing to see in her mouth or throat as far down as the doctor could see. This doesn't necessarily rule out a salivary gland issue, it just means there no overt cause like a salivary stone or some sort of trauma in her throat. She also lanced the swelling from outside and got a lot of bloody pus out. Cash was still draining rather profusely, and she hadn't eaten or peed yet, so we made the decision to have her stay another night. She will most likely be coming home tomorrow, one way or another, on oral ABs and pain meds. Unfortunately, we'll probably never know what caused this, but now that I know what to watch for I can nip it in the bud before it gets this bad again.

Guest Scouts_mom Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just seeing this now. Poor Cashy--it sounds very painful. But she is in very good hands and hopefully will be home tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Frustrating to not have an answer, but glad that she is doing better. Hope she can recover completely, even if you never find the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJNg Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Glad to hear Cash is doing better and will be home soon. I've seen several of these abscesses in the area of the submandibular lymph node that had no identifiable cause, and they resolve with treatment and usually don't recur.

greysmom Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cash has been home a couple hours now and is doing veyr well. Her swelling is almost completely resolved, though there is still a rather hard "lump" right behind her jaw. This is where the vet lanced it and it's continuing to drain some. She has Abs, metacam liquid, and tramadol, and we're to warm compress throughout the day to keep the draining going. Thank you all so much for all your support and good thoughts!
