She had the growth removed and the biopsy was negative, but in recovering one of the stitches scratched her cornea, so now we are dealing with that. The vet says it was from constant squinting and blinking and the stitch got in the eye area. She doesn't appear in any discomfort, but he removed the stitch and hopefully she'll be ok in short order. In the interim, I'm giving her an antibiotic ointment 3 times a day to deal with any infection possibilities. It hasn't been a pleasant experience.
She goes back to the vet today and he'll look at the eye to see if the cornea is healing as well as the area where the original growth on her eyelid was removed. I am sorry i put her through all of this, but it seemed the wise thing to do before the growth got larger and caused more problems. The vet said a larger growth would be a far more difficult procedure. I'm really hopeful the cornea is healing. I'll know soon enough
