lump on stomach i was scratching mika's stomach today, and i noticed she has a little lump on the left side of her stomach. it was never there before, because i think i would have noticed it. it's reallyyy small, maybe the size of half of a penny, but it's still enough to scare me. she's nine years old, so she's an older yorkie. do any of you knwo what this might be? my mind is thinking the worst, like a tumor or something, but i'm hoping it could be something that won't hurt her :( |
Is it in her mammary chain (next to her nipples)? Is she spayed and if so, how many heats did she have before she was? Is it hard or softer? |

She has a higher risk of something we don't even want to think about :( and hard it not good... I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Ellie was getting tiny bumps in between her nipples but the vet said they were really too small to test and I had her spayed and they went away. So it may not be bad but it does not sound good.:(:(:( Mammary Tumors (Cancer) in Dogs |

I just sooo hope she is okay.:( Please keep us posted. |
I hope she is okay too:hug: |
thanks, i'm taking her to the vet at 6:30 so hopefully they'll be able to tell us something :(:(:( |
ok sorry it took me so long to update. we went to the vet, and she has two mammary tumors (i found another one on the way to the vets:() also, what the other vet told us was allergies turned out to be conjuntivitis, so she on medicine for that, and we're going back to the vet in 2 weeks so he could make sure that's all better:( as for the tumors, he thinks that we should remove them and send them to a lab to get biopsied, which is $900-1200 surgery. we're going on monday to a different vet to get a second opinion just to be 100% sure i was wondering, what do you guys think the chances of mika surviving this kind of surgery would be? she's 9 (turning 10 in november) and would get spayed at the same time and get a full blood test done before and everything |
Aww honey I am sorry. I saw this post earlier and wanted to be sure to watch it. I was afraid to suggest what they diagnosed her with. I think personally she can do well after the surgery. What did the vet say? |
I am so sorry Nat:( You are in my prayers and thoughts.. Pleaselet us know when you get the second opinion. |
Is she in excellent health otherwise? I would say she has a very good chance of having a successful surgery if she doesn't have any other major problems. Ellie was spayed and had a liver biopsy at age 6 and did just fine.:) |
So sorry ti hear about the tumors. Praying for a safe outcome |
thanks everyone:) she has no other medical problems besides her eyes now, the only thing that scares me is her age |
How is she doing? |
