My 14 year old whippet also just developed these symptoms and we're headed to the vet this afternoon. Interesting that the question and comments are coming from sight hound owners. With the 14 year old we'll definitely have to take a very, very conservative approach. I really appreciate seeing this.

My vet said after a needle biopsy that is was an inflamed saliva gland. He is taking a very conservative approach. First we are trying hot packs for a week. Then we will consider phenabarbetal or possible a surgical biopsy. Good luck with your pup Jenna. Gloria Grace I have a 5 1/2 yr old Greyhound with identical symptoms as Jenna’s dog.

If that's what it is, they'll just remove the sublingual and submandibular salivary glands on the affected side... no biggie, but definitely needs to be taken care of.
