Many many years ago I had rescued an elderly bichon who suffered from a very large amount of small non-malignant tumors. She was a bumpy girl but we loved her. It wasn't pretty, but it never harmed her and removing the 100-200 growths wouldn't have been fair to her.
If there is a way to help reduce them or prevent them we never found one for her. I've heard that reducing sugar effect cell growth for tumors but when it comes to dogs I don't know how much that's really going to help. Unfortunately this is one of those things you have to just adjust to, or remove (especially as time goes on in reference to size.) |
