Those who have been trained in traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation can still opt to use it. Sayre said the association took the unusual step of making the changes now â the next update wasnât due until 2010 â because three studies last year showed hands-only was as good as traditional CPR.
Salivary Mucocele in Dogs. An oral or salivary mucocele refers to a swelling of the soft connective tissues in the dog's mouth. The swelling appears like mucus-filled sack, and is more than three times as likely to form in dogs than in cats. However, all dog breeds are susceptible to oral and salivary mucoceles.ome of the most common signs of oral and salivary mucoceles are: 1  Facial swelling. 2  Oral pain and swelling. 3  Blood in the saliva. 4  Difficulty swallowing. 5  Eye pressure and pain. 6  Respiratory disease or difficulties breathing. 7  Soft, developing masses in the neck (cervical).
Your question has raised a red flag with me. Anytime you see or feel swelling under your dogâs jaw, it is possible that the lymph nodes are enlarged. Your dogâs lymph nodes are an important part of her immune system. Many of her infection-fighting white cells and antibodies reside there. Enlarged lymph nodes can be a sign of infection, but they can also be a sign of lymphoma, a type of cancer of immune tissue. There are other lymph nodes behind your dogâs knees, in front of her shoulders, and in her armpits. If those are enlarged also, she may have lymphoma.
