Besides that, I get a discount for my year's in the pet care
industry...we're more concerned about whether he has bone cancer at this
point...that would be the final adios...I don't believe in putting pets
through something like that where they can't understand why and the cost is
prohibitive...

If he goes blind they can always have him put to sleep.

Seems like I recall somebody here having a poor little
kitten put to sleep because it went blind.

Cataract surgery for cats and dogs costs roughly $150, takes 10 minutes,
and generally only one clear eye is required for a pet to function
normally. Anyone who'd put down a pet due to cataracts is slime.

Indeed. We put Jasmine, our last golden retriever, down after discovering
an osteosarcoma on that portion of skull between her eyes. At the least it
would have killed her eventually, but at worst she would have suffocated as
the tumor enlarged down into her nasal passages.

Hope Chopper is okay. How old is he?

He turned 9 on Dec. 14.....we're watching the surgery site for
regrowth....so far, so good....he has two other lumps, though; one on his
tail and the other under his armpit, that we're watching...think those are
just lipid type lumps...he still thinks he's a puppy...
