Yeah, this is what I found when I researched, too. I'm glad your baby is doing well. Sounds like he had a heck of a time, too.
@scoobstersmom: I am glad she is doing better and it sounds like you are doing everything you can to help this clear up without putting this poor girl through any more trauma or anesthesia. I hope that the infection clears up completely since anesthetising her for drainage of a dental or salivary abscess doesn't sound feasable or like something you want to risk at this time. Poor baby, sounds like she has been through a lot. Since she is looking better, eating and acting fine, I would just continue current treatment as recommended by the vet, keep a close eye out for recurrence, and enjoy her during this time that she has left, be it months or years.
Many owners, when faced with problems like this would just have the dog put down, and that's a shame. It sounds like she still has quite a bit of life and love left in her. She is very lucky to have such a good mommy who takes such good care of her.
