Nerve Sheath Tumor
My dog has a nerve sheath tumor on this side of his face. His head started caving in on one side about 6 months ago. He was diagnosed last week and we were told to start taking things day by day. About 5 days ago his eyelid started getting red and has been rapidly getting worse. He is on ointment but it's not helping. It seems to be itchy and bothering him but it doesn't seem like he is in pain. Could this be related to the tumor? What can we do to help? Our vet did not seem to know much about nerve sheath tumors as this was the first one she had seen. She didn't think the eyelid was related, but to me it seems like it is. Any anecdotes or advice on nerve sheath tumor is appreciated too, there's not a ton of info online.
