More vet visits.

Both of us are concerned about the saliva gland issue as it does not seem to be getting any
better.
It’s been over a month, three weeks of that on antibiotics, and this past week just the loxicom and hibitane wash.
Hubby’s been cleaning it every day, but thinks it’s getting bigger. Poor Maggie tolerates it but doesn’t like it being bathed, even though it means goodies afterwards.
Everything else is OK. The poison scare from last week is over, her eating and drinking habits are normal, and she still wants to go out for her walks, the ‘business’ also being normal.

We are at a loss as to where we go from here. It looks like surgery will be required to remove the gland. Looking it up on the internet, this should not stop her making sufficient saliva as the others will take over the load sotospeak. However, her age is a factor though she is in good health otherwise as far as we know.
Cost is not an issue as I have enough in reserve for her welfare having been squirreling away as is my wont for emergencies. However, that does nothing to relieve our anxiety.

Her appointment is for 5.30 this afternoon.  I’ll give you an update later.
