| Tumors Had my little one (Toots) to the vet today to have a lump checked out near her nipple. The news is not good. She was given an X-ray and had some blood tests. The vet showed me the x-ray and he had found a group of small lumps in her chest near her heart , and said he was 85% sure they were tumors and he wasnt very hopefull about her , even said she might only had weeks to live and maybe even putting her to sleep if the lumps get worse. Her liver and kidneys were ok he said, and also mentioned she had stage 2 of heart disease. If this is the case then I will have to accept it. But to be honest Iam not entirely convinced about the diagnosis and Iam thinking of getting a second opinion. When he said she might only had weeks to live I was shocked becouse she seems fine , she is eating , drinking and seems to be her usual self , the only thing that I have noticed is that she isnt has energetic has she once was , and she does sleep alot , but I just put this down to old age (13) Has anyone been in a similar situation with there little one? |

| I'm sorry about your girl. Please get her to an oncologist. Maybe they can help.

| I am so sorry your little one has a tumor. I am glad she is not suffering but I certainly would get a second opinion before I settled your vet's diagnosis. Good luck, |

| I assume she was never spayed? Stories like yours are so tragic since mammary cancer is preventable if puppies are spayed before they ever have their first heat cycle. I would consult an oncologist, but I do know that most mammary tumors are malignant. |

| I'm so sorry to hear this. Please, if nothing else then your own peace of mind, get a second opinion from an oncologist if at all possible. Keep us posted, ok.

| Just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your baby. I agree with the previous posters on taking her to an oncologist.

| Definitely get a 2nd opinion. If both are the same,,, find a vet that will try and help your furbaby.... even if it's only to ease any pain that might be coming so that your last days are happy for both of you. You and your furbaby are in my prayers. John |
