My name is Kathryn Cook, and my rescue service dog is Ladybug who is 9 years old. - At the Vet last night, I found out that she had Uveal Melanoma

(cancer) in her right eye. IMelanoma grows from the tissues that make up the uvea - the iris. They arise from the iris which is a part of the wall of the eye that makes fluid that fills the eye. The eye was looked at, at the Animal Eye Care of New England. Lasik Surgery or the surgery the Vet's believe will help the eye is still pending., they feel this is benign, but either way without the surgery my dog who is the love of my life and my support both with my Diabetes and emotional will go blind.

I am currently putting drops in her eye twice daily which Ladybug hates. This will cobtinue until Sept. when we return to the eye Dr. - am praying these are minimizing the area. We will find out when the surgery will be necessary then or drops permanently. Please help to share and any donation will help. Thank you.
