【 摘 要 】

A 1-year-old healthy female cross-breed dog, weighing 4.5 kg, was scheduled forelective neutering. Fentanyl (5 µg/kg) and propofol (4 mg/kg) wereadministered intravenously (IV) to induce anesthesia, which was maintained with isofluraneand a constant fentanyl infusion rate (10 µg/kg/hr). During the recoveryfrom the anesthesia, the presence of bilateral dense submandibular masses was recognized,as was the excessive secretion of saliva. An ultrasound examination was performed andrevealed bilateral abnormally-diffused enlargement of the submandibular salivary glands. Acytology examination was conducted, and no signs of abnormality were found. The size ofthe swellings subsequently diminished, completely subsiding after 2 hr, as did thehyper-salivation. To the authors’ knowledge, this represents the first case report of anacute transient swelling of submandibular glands after general anesthesia in a dog.
