We don't know, honestly. She's had at least one, I think it's two now, pop, but she didn't seem to even notice them bleeding and they stopped after a short while. She has far more good days than bad though, which is what matters now. But she's part German Shepherd and is over 10, so she's really old for her background too. She was a rez dog, so no papers and definitely no parent info besides a pic of mom.Bless her, are the tumours benign?
My older girl is turning 13 next month and she's full of bumps and lumps now.
I was pretty stressed, cancer is a big fear I have as she's getting older- but the vet thinks they're benign, so we're just keeping an eye on them.
My malamute though just has behavioural stuff I'm pretty sure, vets are happy with her health and her weight, though we'd like her to put a little on because she's still a little slim for her breed- my parents malamute is much different. I think breeding is to blame partially, their dog (rescued along with my girl, she was one of the two pups) is from excellent breeding lines, her aunt and parents are show dogs and have won best of show in some competitions. My girl, idk where she was from. Only that she was a pedigree, I *think* housed outdoors, and the last of the litter to be picked.
