[QUOTE="affinenine, post: 2013331, member: 116068"] Unfortunately, Butternut's biopsy results came back as a malignant tumor squamous cell carcinoma. The infection is likely the result of a compromised immune system due to the cancer. I'm heartbroken. I don't even know what to say. Her options are for the vet to keep removing the tumor as it resurfaces or remove the entire eye; both procedures I can't afford and would likely be traumatizing for her. The only thing I can do is make Butternut's time with my family as pleasant and pain-free as possible until it's time for her to go. My vet is sending her case to an experimental exotic oncology clinic to see if we can get her treatment discounted or pro bono due to the unusual nature of it. For now, Butternut seems happy. She has pain meds as her wounds heal, and hopefully her infection will resolve in the coming weeks. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to Butternut's thread. I don't know how much time I have left with her, but I'm going to do my best to make them count. [/QUOTE]
