Sorry for the lack of updates, this is what's happened:
I went to a second vet for a consultation. They were very suspicious of malo, and asked that I forward the xrays I had done at the other vet. Those xrays turned out to be inconclusive, so I sent her in this morning for another set and possible molar burring if there was anything obvious.
About an hour after I sent her in, I got a call saying that the xrays were completely clear and there were absolutely no dental issues. Because Chibi's eye has become quite swollen, scarred, and cloudy, they suggested immediate enucleation and a biopsy of the area behind the eye. I gave them the ok, as both vets had already told me that she had little to no vision in that eye anyway.
I got a call about 10 minutes ago letting me know that the mass behind the eye is not a tumor, and looks to be a retrobulbar abscess caused by either deep tissue injury or some sort of foreign object other than molars. They're sending a culture of the pus found into the lab to get a more definitive med plan going for her.
I'll be picking my poor little Frankenchin up this evening after her meds wear off. Apparently she bit a vet tech... good girl.
