Description
Iris freckles. Little, black, disk-like tumors or growth of pigmented tissue on the eye.
My puppy has it.
Luckily, when they look like this (dark, flat disks as apposed to large, lumpy masses), they are usually benign. And in taking into account: his age; the price of treatment; the fact that he’s not a working/breeding dog; and that the only way to check whether it’s benign or malignant is to remove the eye (an incredibly painful procedure); it has been decided we are just going to “let him live until he dies.”
Hopefully that's not for a long time.

I apologize for not responding to comments on this deviation. I normally do but this one is hard on me. Every time I try, I get emotional and teary and dumb. -_-
I do appreciate your thoughts and thank you for your comments and consideration.

My dog has one of these and they're not that big of a deal a ton of dogs have them and only a few will turn into cancer. Just think of them like moles on your skin, they can turn into melanoma too, but it's most of the time unlikely!
