Hi everyone. We adopted Sophie in March 2016. Since then, we've dealt with facial paralysis, hypothyroidism, Lyme, a growth inside of her eye, etc. She was abandoned in February, we think she is around 7.
Today, after about a week of her breathing funny (almost panting, constantly), but no other symptoms, I took her to the vet. The vet says she has a mass growing from the top of her mouth that is restricting her airways. She also thinks she has smaller masses underneath her throat. Has anyone dealt with this before? The vet said there isn't anything we can do. She offered an X-ray and biopsy, but said ultimately they cannot remove/treat most likely.
We're a wreck. From what the vet says, it sounds like we should just be keeping her happy and comfortable until she shows signs if distress (can't eat, can't breathe, etc). Can anyone offer any opinions?
