Arghhhh dreaded melanomas! Ruining my life

[ponylover88]

Gem had the emergecy vet on Sunday, and then a follow up visit today. Found 2 melanomas on the inside of her upper eyelid today. One about 5mm and another at 2mm in size. Vets going to refer us to AHT for protential removal

Just hope insurance will cover it if she needs it done.

I hope something can be done for Gem. For Maisie it was too late.

Skib, Gem has literally tonnes of them around her head, neck, dock and vulva (to the point where her vulva and anus are distorted), and I've always been concerned as they say that if you can see one on the outside there's at least double the amount inside too.

My vet took some photos to show the senior vet and AHT (should we decide to go with removal). It can't be comfy for her having them, but I know most melanomas aren't operable...
