Dog With Salivary Gland Cyst (Sialocele)

Posted By Brian (California, Mountain View) on 10/30/2021

Hello there, first off ty for your time. Buddy is a black lab / pitbull mix around 1 year... His neck just behind his ears are swollen due to what seems like sialocele.. Buddy also is experiencing quite a bit of pressure on his windpipe from what I understand.. I really want to help Buddy, and he has insurance but I don't have upfront payment so I'm in fear I will be denied.. I have a large 27 gauge needle, is it really that much of a risk to try to aspirate? What's the risk?
