Olivia - I agree completely but unfortunately arnau doesn't have that option where he lives. I agree it appears to be some gular edema. It is mild though. Sometimes mild gular edema will actually be due to a respiratory infection because in that area of the throat there is a small pouch off the lungs that protrudes into the gular area. It is less likely and isn't seen really often, but it's possible, especially with the combination of some eye issues. Although my guys with gular edema will some times have extremely swollen turrets due to fluid fluctuation with the edema, especially if they sleep with their head same level or a little lower than the rest of the body.
