My regular vet did the surgery. He said he was definitely going to send tissue off for biopsy and we won't know the results from that till next week sometime, running right into the holiday. And that he was going to have to make a pretty sizeable incision, as he usually likes to remove twice the affected area. He said it was going to be a challenge, and her nipple would probably end up on her side, but he could do it. And it's going to be a rough recovery because where it's located, she's likely to tear the incision as she moves. :(
I just ran up debt for Harry's surgery, and it looks like this one is going to be close to as expensive. I was hoping it would be just a quick incision. But she's got to stay in the hospital.
If I let a cut get infected to cause all this damage, I'm going to be pretty annoyed with myself. :(
