My dog has one “the size of a bird’s egg”, according to the vet, but it’s staying put. Hope your pup is feeling better soon! 🩶

What kind of bird? Because there is a lot of difference between the size of a quail egg and the size of an ostrich egg

What is the benefit of keeping it put vs removing it?

There’s no benefit to keeping it, but he’s 16, and crashed badly during his post-rescue dental. He’s not a good candidate for anesthesia. He does not appear to be in pain.

(He’s also fully blind with one enucleated eye, about 88% deaf, has exactly one (1) tooth, and only about 60% of his bottom jaw. He’s absolutely perfect and wonderful.)

Poor thing! Thanks for the reply, I didn't even know this could happen.
