I would be interested in hearing from any of you that have had any type of experience with cancer in your dog. Your story could possible help others detect cancer early in their pets. It would be good to know what signs you observed and what kind of treatment your dog underwent and what the outcome was. I know this will be a painful subject for many.
Here is a very good website that explains the different types of cancer:

I have a 12 year old Yorkie that had a mammary tumor when she was 7 years old. They were able to remove the tumor safely. I first discovered the tumor by feeling of her mammary glands and I felt a small pea size grainy lump.
I talked to a man last year that had just lost his Yorkie to cancer. He told me his two year old male Yorkie suddenly got sick and within a few days. The autopsy showed his liver was ate up with cancer.
I know mammary cancer is fairly common in intact females and I hear that testicular cancer can occur in intact males but I just have not hear of many cases of it.
Any thoughts or input?
