Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old mixed-breed dog was brought in with swelling under the tongue, which was caused by stones in the salivary glands. The veterinarian performed surgery to remove the affected glands, which successfully resolved the swelling and discomfort. After the procedure, the dog recovered well and no longer showed signs of pain or swelling.
