He didn't remove the whole gland, just the part that the growth had gotten into and I am sure they would have more than one saliva gland, don't you think?

The collar will be on until the stitches come out in 10 days. Poor baby, I can hear her trying her darnedest to scratch and scratch that ear so thank God that collar is there! I have to wipe it out inside, her ear is draining and there is blood getting on it and in her fur so I have to wipe the collar and her face and she loves me wiping her face..

She has antibiotics to take twice a day so I put that in canned food and spoon feed her that and we have to wash her face and the collar after that but again, she loves me washing her face.

She stays on the perch at the kitchen window because she can prop that collar there and get comfortable. I feel so bad for her having to go through this.. Caramella don't know what to make of it and can't figure out what that is around her neck or why it is there. She will sit right by her at just stare at it.
