Really will only know for sure after they check the tissue 🥴. But generally, the surgeons have a good ideal as they're removing it. Are they freezing it or a scalpel trip?
Scalpel. It was there for years, and still pretty big when they biopsied it. She was surprised a few weeks ago at how much it had reduced. It will be interesting to see if the Ivermectin worked below the surface or not.

In a MOHS surgery, the derm will take it out, and then will look for clean margins - those edges that don't have cancer cells. If its not clean, then they will go in again and cut some more. I hope they are successful the first time and you don't have to stay there for hours on end.
Thanks for the information

I am exhausted. Fed rabids, got harvested rabids in vacuum bags and into freezer. It rained last night and Boone decided to run through the mud then tromp it all over my clean floors and rugs and then climb in the BED! So I’ve been doing laundry, changing sheets, etc. Boone has been super needy and wanted a lot of attention today. He’s going to have to stay home tomorrow as he can’t handle a 2-4 hr surgery. Heath is the only dog Ive had that could. He waited in the hospital many times after hip/knee/lung surgeries and was always there for me in the recovery room. Fennie can probably manage it because he can run around with Randy, so I need to get him ready to go. They have both been running through the mud all day.
Boone will be sad but he’s survived it before, although I can’t say the yard did. I lock him out of the house because there is too much mischief for him to get into if he’s unsupervised that long.
I thought about giving Fen a bath but he will be running through the pasture with Boone while we do chores so it seems pointless…
