HELP!!!!!!! My 13 yr old Yorkie ( at least thats what we think he is) has had a small growth on his neck almost all his life, its been the size of an olive seed, until about 6-8 months ago, & when it started to get larger, the vet took a look at it & noticed there was blisters of puss, & squeezed it, ever since then, the growth got bigger but it hasnt really bothered him, til a couple days ago. Then yesterday I noticed he was scratching & scratching & there was blood on my bed, til I noticed that his neck was covered in blood, so of course I rush him to my vet & as you can see by clicking at the pics, that is what it looks like, the reddish thing protruding there was white, which seems to be like a chunk of puss that is just there, & as he scratches around it it bleeds.
Now here's the thing, hes one of those Yorkies that super fragile, not b/c of weight, but just is, the one that doesnt jump up on things, is laid back & doesnt have a care in the world kinda of Yorkie, he is MY baby, my 1st Yorkie & I have always had this gut feeling about not letting him go into surgery once he hit 9-10 yrs old, I just have this bad feeling, & now the time has come that I guess I HAVE to put him through this surgery but I cant make the decision of doing it... Id like your opinions, what would u do in my shoes? I just feel like if something does happen to him in the surgery & I knew it, id kill myself, I would NEVER forgive myself. Take a look at the pics & please give me your opinion... Thanks!
