In veterinary medicine wounds are common. Wounds range from simple scrapes, surgical incisions, and dermatologic issues to serious life and limb threatening traumas. The body begins work immediately upon insult to the skin to repair damaged tissue and restore the functional barrier properties of the skin. Positive outcomes are challenged by a host of factors, such as wound location, wound type, and bacterial infection.

Salivary mucoceles are a collection of saliva that has leaked from a damaged salivary gland or duct and they are surrounded by granulation tissue. They are not cysts. Cysts are cavities lined by epithelium, whereas the granulation tissue lining of a mucocele is produced secondary to inflammation caused by free saliva in the tissues. Saliva takes the path of least resistance, irritates tissue and causes inflammation. Granulation tissue forms in response to the inflammation and prevents saliva from migrating further. The cause of salivary mucoceles is rarely identified. The sublingual salivary gland is the most commonly involved.

The webinar led by Elizabeth Thomovsky DVM MS DACVECC from Purdue University offered an excellent update on the general principles of wound management and clarity on when to use the vast and frankly confusing array of dressings currently available to us for use with specific wounds. Elizabeth cited several cases which demonstrated some of the principles discussed and also ‘put to bed’ some perhaps older fashioned techniques which are now frowned upon. These discussions also had a heavy bias towards the practical and Elizabeth ensured all suggestions made could be easily achieved by the general practitioner including how to simply manufacture a closed active suction drain using just a test tube and butterfly catheter!
