UPDATE...Nuggets pathology report

It was a squamous cell carcinoma.  We caught it very early and it never penetrated the first layer of the cornea.  We got good margins and the graft is looking good.  Dogs with Keratitis..inflammation of the cornea caused by infection, dry eye and others have a higher risk of getting this because of the constant inflammation.  This is something we will have to continue to watch because Nuggets eyes have alot of scaring from her previous owners not taking care of her.

So happy to hear that you caught it early and were able to get clear margins. I hope she is feeling better soon!

We had a precious foster guy last summer who had eye issues (not as bad as Nugget's) because of previous
