Salivary cysts can sometimes form under the dog's tongue, these look like large blisters but they can also appear under the neck skin at the corner of the jaw. Tongue wounds can sometimes be caused by dog fights or by the dog accidentally biting his own tongue.
Treatment
The salivary gland can be drained and the gland is removed. If you are worried about the bite on your dog's tongue you should consult your vet. If your dog is finding it painful to eat, you should feed him soft bits of chopped up food until he is able to eat alone.
