I think London might have cancer? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mizzwanned · 12-16-2013, 06:26 PM

The past couple days London has been sluggish, she's always been a lazy dog anyway so I didn't think anything of it. But today she just slept all day and pooped a lot of blood in her stool. Sometimes she's hungry, sometimes she's not these past few days but I always make sure she eats. Well I just gave her bits of chicken and I noticed she didn't chew, just swallowed it and she's kind of salivating. I was petting her and I noticed a kind of lump under her mouth, but above her neck. I'm so worried, can it be cancer or something? She looks really tired now, and I'm afraid she's in pain. This is something I just now noticed btw. Any thoughts, help would be appreciated. She's 7 years old and is spayed.

It could be any number of things. If I saw that one of mine had blood in their poop, you can bet I would have them at the vet. I do think a Vet visit is in order, and have them run some blood work and do a check up.

Thanks, we are taking her to the vet in the morning when it opens , but I would like any opinions meanwhile

If she's that sluggish she needs the vet now! If this is HGE she may not make it till the AM... Praying for her...

Doodlebug · 12-16-2013, 07:11 PM

I hope she is ok. I would run her to the emergency vet tonight just to be sure.

Back from the vet! They said swollen lymph node maybe due to bacterial infection. Prescribed antibiotics and we are to take her back for a recheck up in a week. I hope the lump goes down!

sending many prayers that the lump goes away with the antibiotics.

I'm glad it's not cancer! Really the only advice we could have given you was take her to the vet. I hope her infection clears up quickly.

Thnx, i know, I was just posting incase this had happened to anyone here before, as there are a lot of yorkie owners here, so I could get some insight. It's good to go to the vet with information as well

joyce evans · 12-17-2013, 10:33 AM

Will be praying for your little darling!

DvlshAngel985 · 12-17-2013, 10:38 AM

I had a similar experience with a very different outcome. I'll spare you the details because it was kinda gross.

I am sorry to hear about London and I truly hope that the swollen lymph nodes are an infection and can be treated.
