My dog, Slate, a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix, has red and puffy eyes, seems to be rubbing them often with his front paw, and is also licking his front leg. His fur under the eye seemed weepy/wet yesterday, and today his eyes appear more puffy. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Luna, has had a mast cell tumor on her trunk for nearly two years, which was finally removed during her spay surgery. The pathology results showed dirty margins, grade 2, and a high mitotic index of 12, indicating an aggressive tumor. Despite this prognosis, Luna appears very healthy and active. Why is she not showing signs of illness, and have you seen any dogs outlive this prognosis?
