the info he gave me has sialadenosis circled, and the part that talks about the histology not showing an inflammatory or neoplastic cells.
i'm glad they don't want to operate, at first he talked about that. he thought it might be sialocele when he first saw it.
the info my vet gave us says that one study of dogs with the disease showed EEG changes consistent with epilepsy. i'm not sure why he wants to try prednisone first, i guess i'll figure out more when i talk to him in the morning. he did say there was lymph tissue present when they did the aspiration, but i don't know if that is significant. i still don't get the laser thing, really. we don't do that to humans that i know of.
he is taking cerenia. i just googled it and now i know my vet is price gouging me.
my poor pukey dougie. he's so sad. i just want him to feel better.
