Went to grooming-Came out with eye tumor I Took my litttle zoey 4# and 4years old. On friday 3-11-11 to groomer for her cut. The groomer called me to inform me zoey had a tumor on her eye under the lid,I havent noticed anything :confused:, She had the vet look at it. He says she needs it taken out. Vet is talking about removal of the eye. Has any body else had this happen? She a healthy yorkie. I have had her since she was 5 months old she's my baby. this is killing me any advice would be nice. Surgery is tomorrow 3-18-11:mad: |
OH My. I am so sorry to hear this. I have no advice but I just wanted to send prayers and best wishes for a successful operation and smooth recovery. |
I would get a second opinion from a canine opthamologist before I would do any surgery. Especially if the vet is talking about removing an eye. |

Is this your vet, someone you know, saying this? Or is it the groomer's vet? |
Took to groomer-came out with eye tumor Yes this is Zoeys regular Vet that we have aways used. We trust him with our 3 yorkies, I just havent heard of this before, Vet told us its a solid mass, i have talked with other vets in my area and they also said the same, has anyone else known or have had this done? |
You have been given some good advice. Get a 2nd opinion. |
Contact the University of Missouri University of Missouri-Columbia College of Veterinary Medicine see if the can help you. I also found this University of Missouri - Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital Please contact them first Specialty Services - Ophthamology The Veterinary Ophthalmology Service of the University of Missouri VMTH offers referral services to practicing veterinarians in Missouri and surrounding states. Complete veterinary ophthalmology diagnostic, medical, and surgical services are provided for companion animal, food animal, and equine species. Please postpone the surgery unless the vet is a specialist in Ophthamology. |

I agree with the others, you really need the advice of a specialist on this. Many vets aren't trained in the latest advances, they have a good overall knowledge, but for something this important I recommend that you see a specialist. Just tell your vet you would like to pospone the surgery. Let me add, my prayers are with you. |
defin. talk to Mizzou about this because they are EXCELLENT veterinary specialists there and have done countless surgeries and specialty issues with dogs. also ask around for a local specialty and emeregency center. we have one here in KC area called VSEC. good luck, much prayers and please get a second opinion from a specialist. |

I've been doing a little reading on it, and from what I've read, time may be an important factor. Is the doctor sure it's cancersous? Removal of the eye is suggested as a way to stop the cancer before it spreads. |

As Nancy indicated, time may be a critical factor. Please see a specialist right away to find out whether or not the eye can be saved, and to make sure the right treatment is chosen. Sending you and your baby good wishes. |
