Good Morning All.

Wanted to see if anyone has heard of this issue before. My little guy Hershey, a 13 year old yorkie of course, has a mass on the right side of his neck which we think is cancer but are not going to do alot of tests to confirm. The mass is pushing his trachea to the side, bending it over to some degree.

My vet and I don't feel surgery is an option to remove the mass as we aren't sure that he would survive the surgery. He is 13 after all. Otherwise he is in pretty good health, have done an ultrasound and xray. His only other issue is he has a few bladder stones which we are also not removing.

Has anyone heard of this before? It's not a collapsing trachea as such.

thank you.
