I went to the ER/Dog Ophthalmologist with Max this afternoon.
What my regular vet and I thought was a change in pigmentation 6 weeks ago, the original pink spot has grown very rapidly. It turns out that it's not a change in pigment, but it's a tumor. We don't know if it's cancer and we can't know because the spot is too small to scrape for a reliable diagnosis and it's right on his tear duct. The ophthalmologist feels he will do more harm than good.
Friday we are going for minor surgery to have the tumor frozen. He feels that if it is just a histiocytoma (his possible hunch) then he feels we are doing the right treatment. It may be cancer or it may be nothing.
Please pray that Max has no issue with the surgery and that we can correct the problem with this procedure. Max has had a really tough life so far and I've had a really tough few weeks.
