How long can a dog live with a cancerous tumor?
Untreated, the average survival time from diagnosis is about two months. This can be prolonged with chemotherapy (in some cases for 12 months or occasionally longer), although unfortunately not all lymphomas respond successfully.
How big is the tumor on my lab mix’s leg?
My mix small breed has a tumor on her leg (back upper portion). It was soft & large & now it’s hard & solid (as of this wk). Tumor bleeds & pussy if licked. She now wears a cone. Surgery not an option due to age (15 yrs old) she has lost weight, 70% of her sight. Tumor size of 2 Golf Balls (looks more like a pair of men’s “balls”.
How big is the lump in my lab mix’s lung?
Our 120lb almost 9 year old Great Pyranees/German Short-haired point mix has a dry cough-starting 3-months ago, more consistent the last 4-6weeks. CBC was normal, but chest xray led to ultrasound guided biopsy-diagnosis of carcinoma-origin in the lung-estimated size 9cm with “lots of dead cells too.”
How can you tell if your lab has a lipoma?
That way you can tell if it’s gotten bigger, or, if your Lab has lots of lumps, whether a particular lump is something you’ve noticed before. While lipomas are common in all Labs, overweight females are the most likely to get them. Lipomas and cysts lie just beneath the skin. You can move them around a bit with your fingers.
