Just wanted to let you all know that we got the results back from maggie's lump pathology and it shows all signs of being benign. The only thing is that there were no normal healthy cells around the margins of the mass they removed, which means some melanoma is still on her. We have two options for right now. We can take her toe off which would "cure" her of the melanoma, or we can watch the toe and see if it comes back, and then take the toe off if necessary. I think we've decided to take the second option.
Her surgery wound also got infected, so we are dealing with that for her (antibiotics and creams). They gave us a bigger "cone" for her, in the hopes that she wouldn't be able to get to the toe to lick, but somehow she has figured out how to get to it. I'm not sure how big they make those cones, but we may need to see if they have an even longer one.
We take her to the vet again today, so, hopefully we can get some of this figured out.
