hey all! my dog (11 year old dachshund) suddenly grew this under his eye. visited the vet to do a fine needle aspirate (FNA) and found some cells that are suspicious of malignancy. however, she clarified that it would need a biopsy to further confirm the diagnosis. has any of you encountered this before?

it started hard, now its soft and the vet said its attached to muscle. doesnt seem to cause him any pain when touch it and he’s overall acting fine. im a bit hesitant with the surgical biopsy she wants to do since hes and old boy.

thank you!
