ABSTRACT
A 2-year old female local Bali dog weighing 13 kg presented to Udayana University Veterinary Hospital with swelling in the mandibular region and was reported that the swelling has been observed and was getting bigger since the dog was 8-month old. An initial examination identified a large volume of fluid. In 3 month period, the aspiration was performed twice, collecting a 8 cc and 5 cc clear yellowish fluid for each aspiration. The surgical treatment was decided as the best treatment to be performed to avoid repeated aspiration. Surgery was performed to remove the mandibular and sublingualis glands under general anasthesia using a combination of Ketamin and Xylacine ad the sedative agent. The dog was prescribed five days post-surgery medication using an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory agent and supportive therapy. Regular monitoring was conducted for two months before it was confirmed that no saliva was re-accumulated.
