Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Mammary Cancer Porsche was diagnosed with cancer! After a bath on Friday, I discovered some spots on her lower abdomen. We immediately scheduled a dr's appointment for the following Monday. By that Friday, she'd had a radical masdectomy! The vet said it was the earliest he had ever had owners allow surgery. The post surgery incision was horrible. She is doing well now, but I will worry forever about her future. She is 11 years old. I can only hope I can keep her for several more years, pain free. Has anyone else had experiences with cancer in their babies?

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Spay early The vet said the only way to insure against this cancer was to spay females before their first heat. Porsche had one litter and then was spayed around 5-6 years old. In hind sight, I would spay any females early to spare them this agony. My poor baby...little did I know.

| You cannot look back now, but thank you for sharing to help others. Are you sure she has cancer? Mammary tumors are not always malignant. Did you send out for a biopsy so you will know?? Please keep us posted. Wishing Porsche a speedy recovery!
