Hello Yorkie Talk community! Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with multiple tumors/cysts on their yorkie. My mother's 11 year old yorkie is covered with tumors/cysts (probably around 20 tumors). He's had these large bumps for years and the vet has always told her that they were cysts and nothing could be done about it. She had about 7 removed (cut off) several years ago. In fact, the vet simply pulled one off once. Despite having most of them cut off, they have come back and multiplied over the past year. The vet says the only thing to do is to cut them off again (which is extremely expensive). While my mother is willing to pay to have this done, she's worried that the vet is wrong and missing the underlying cause.

Since I've been home for Christmas, I've been checking them out and am convinced that something has to be wrong here. Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.
