Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 8 years and 11 months old | 12 lbs

My female Chihuahua: "Honey" has a large growth (tumor) on her head that is near her eye which is causing her pain and confusion. The growth is already spread into her tear duct and across her eyelid. I know it must be painful at times. What is the proper procedure to remove this from her head and typical cost?

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Honey. Without a full examination of this including the depth in person, your questions are very difficult to answer. Prices vary greatly across the United States depending on where you live. You should take Honey in immediately and get her evaluated. The vet can examine her and give you an accurate quote regarding the removal of this growth. Good luck
