Thanks for the update Dora. Maybe there was a reason to give you more time before the surgery. Perhaps you'll be able to get her eyelid in shape to keep from having the surgery. We will continue to keep you in our prayers in hopes that things will be fine. Keep us informed.

I am keeping Mia in my prayers. I hope the tumor on her eyelid will shrink and she won't need the surgery. Keep us updated.

Mia had her MST removal surgery today. The tumor on her rear (about 2 inches above her tail) was deep and the incision is about 4 inches long, but the vet believes she got clean margins. The one by her eye has unbelievably shrunk (though not much, were talking millimeters). the vet said she really examined it and did not want to remove it because she is hopeful since it has shrunk and also it is through the lid meaning the repair of the eyelid would be very difficult. She stated that if it is needing to be removed I should see a specialist who can deal with the repair of the lid as well as having more specialized instruments to take a smalled section of the lid off.

Mia is still groggy. She looks so pitiful with her dried up tongue sticking out of her mouth. She still cannot stand on her legs without wobbling, so she is currently asleep on my bed away from all the other fur babies and skin kids in the house. I am going to make her some broth and boil her rice and hamburger meat that she loves. So now we play the waiting game with the lab results.

Poor Mia, I am hoping the vet did get clean margins and that the one on her eyelid continues to shrink. Just know that you guys are in our thoughts and I hope everything goes well. Be strong Miss Mia, you will feel better soon.

Sending healing vibes to Mia from me, Samson, & Hannah. I am happy that she didn't have to have surgery on her eyelid - I hope it continues to shrink. Keep us updated!

Dora,

I sure hope that they did get clean margins and she will be free of the problem. I will keep you and her in my prayers. Give her hug and kiss from my crew.

Lab results show Grade 2 MST. I am at a loss right now. I feel deflated literally...after all the lengths we have gone to and my Mia is still getting MST and now a grade worse. I need to shake off this funk and go to sleep, hopefully tomorrow will bring a more positive outlook.
