Yesterday I decided to shave down my other dog, a cockerspaniel/American Eskimo Mix because it has been pretty hot here lately and she has a lot of hair. I figured it might give her a bit more incentive to play with her GSD brother Ando a bit longer before becoming too hot.
Well, I have never shaved her before and as I was happily clipping along I discovered a chickpea sized angry looking (red) growth on her tummy area ......
I can`t believe I have never noticed it before, she gets brushed every 3 days and gets tummy rubs....it was covered completely by her massive hair. Never even felt it

Needless to say I am totally bummed by it and scared as well. First thing Monday I will be making a trip to the Vet and really really hope it is benign.
Please keep me in your thoughts and I will update you with the news on Monday after the Vets.

that stinks! i hope its just a fatty lump and that it all works out ok.

We are back from the Vet.
They did a biopsy (drew fluid and cells out of it) and are sending it to histology for examination.
It was a really thin needle but after it was done it bled a lot. Not a good sign, as malignant ones often bleed profusely.

My Vet will have the results either this afternoon or tomorrow and I am hoping and praying that it is benign and just one ugly nasty lump with no malignancy.

I will let you all know as soon as the results come back. Keep your fingers and paws crossed for the little fluffy white one. I have a feeling she`ll need it.

Oh, I hope it is nothing serious with your dog. Let us know how you make out. I will be thinking about you and your dog.

Hopefully it's benign, or at least very local.

Let us know what you find out.

The news came this morning !!!

It is benign !!! No Cancer ! Woooooooo !

She is scheduled for her spay in early August and my Vet said he`ll remove the tumor along with the spay and not to worry about anything

I forgot the name of the type of tumor when he told me.....I just heard benign, slow growing and easily removed and all else just kinda didn`t stick to my brain after that.

Thank you All for your thoughts and prayers, I`m sure that did help because Sandy usually isn`t too lucky of a Gal !
