I noticed Swampy had a small red lump on the side of his mouth last night when I went to put on his Pet Dent. Took him to the vet today as Swamp's only finished a course of tooth related antibiotics last week. The vet says the lump's in his salivary gland and that he is concerned as Swamp has just had antibiotics, which hopefully would have killed any infection, so I must be aware of the possibility that Swampy has a tumour of the saliva gland. We will know in a month because if it doesn't go away or gets bigger in that time frame, that's probably what it is. Apparently it's rare. It's totally untreatable so with him being at high risk from an anaesthetic, he doesn't want to do a biopsy either.
He says that if it's the tumour, it gets bigger and bigger over about 6 months and then that is it.
I know I must wait to see what happens, but I'm terribly upset. Does anyone have any info to share on this please?
I know I can say this here as you will understand. I don't even want to go out and leave him alone right now. Please pray for him that it's not cancer.
