Abstract:
A 2-year-old male Labrador dog weighing 34 kg was presented to the Veterinary clinical complex Hospital (VCC) Rajendranagar, Hyderabad with a history of gradually increasing soft swollen mass in the oral cavity on right side associated with oral discomfort. Clinical examination revealed fluctuating, painless mass close to the tongue. Paracentesis revealed clear saliva like fluid. Radiograph of head in lateral view revealed the location and extent of mass and we finally arrived at diagnosis as salivary mucocele. Marsupialization was performed and animal recovered uneventfully.
