Hi everyone, during the night i over heard my bitch coughing and checked to see that she vomitted a hard piece of bone. 7 or 8 hours later, a fellow came to cut my front lawn and my bitch was barking, so i sent her into an empty storeroom behind my kitchen only to be called some 30 minutes later that she's drooling or salivating. I checked her mouth/between her teeth but saw nothing, only to discover that her under-tongue is swallen. I called my vet but he's out of town/promise showing-up tomorrow and asked me to give a table of "avomin", that it may be an allegy. Has anyone any expirience? She'd been mated n looks in-whelp. She hadn't been ill or sick all her life of 2yrs-plus. I can still see the under-tongue inflamed or swollen but she remains herself; barking, active/aet a piece of chicken i tried on her. I need help, any expirience of this?

Could she have caught a bee and been stung by it?

Does it look anything like these photos? These are called salivary mucoceles or ranulas. The ones I've seen aren't quite as large as those pictured on this site.

Any chance a shard of bone is stuck in there?

Could she be bloating or getting an intussusception?  Please keep us updated! Does she have ropey saliva?  Look at her sides...are you sure she is not bloating?  Please take her to the vet and PLEASE update us.

I have seen what you are describing many years ago a male I owned had what looked to be a swelling about the size of a golf ball just under his tongue, it looked to be full of thick almost clear fluid and he had excessive drooling. My vet lanced it and that was it he was fine. I believe that it was caused either by a bone fragment or a splinter of wood.

I hope your boy is OK.
