I follow a blog/Facebook page for Sugar, a 13-year old Golden Retriever who had a cancerous tumor removed from her tongue earlier this year. Her tumor was also discovered when she stopped eating and was showing signs of distress.

Thank you!
I recently spoke with a woman that does Retriever rescue and she told me that they and Labs are very prone to cancer. Not sure what kind? She said she had to put her 2 yr. old down because of it. Very Sad story! Her dying brother gave her the puppy. I'm hoping that Sugar is doing well after her surgery. Jasmine is still eating very well and just grabbed a bite of kitty kibble on her way back in the house. Her lympthnode (however you spell it) is swollen on the opposite side of the tumor.
