Abstract
A six year old Non-descript dog was brought to
the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history of inappetance, reluctance to eat, difficulty in swallowing, drooling and
presented with a non-painful, ulcerated, soft
and fluctuating swelling on the ventral aspect
of the tongue towards right side for the past one
month. Exploratory puncture of the swelling
revealed blood tinged saliva like fluid indicative of sublingual sialocele. Surgical excision
of ranula by marsupialization procedure was
performed under general anaesthesia. Dog
showed uneventful recovery without any complications.
