scothunter 12,609 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ok folks i have a lurcher bitch she is 12 now.Well a few year ago she had a small lump on her belly at side.Now she aint the type of dog that is good around strangers so going to the vet is a nitemare.Anyway the last time she was near a vet he looked at the lump and said keep an eye on it but he thought it was just a fatty deposit.Well since then she got another small one.Now i noticed another.She is totally fine eating ok and just the usual.However im a bit concerned as she is getting older.She was a great servant to me and couldnt ask for a better dog.And maybe its just me getting a bit paronoid cause she at that age that the inevitable could happen.Has anyone else had a similar situation in an older dog?
