I've just found a lump on my dogs back. She's just turned 7. I'm a bit worried because one of our other dogs had cancer and had to be put down for it. Just looking for any reassurance because i'm really worried.

We're going to, but until then...
Usually they are soft to the touch, sometimes moveable, and are generally painless.
Oh dear. She better not be going gammy on us - she's got loads of years left yet. My aunties springer is still going at 13!
My little baby had to be put down today. She became ill 2 weeks ago but got better a few days ago, woke up today and she'd had a fit
I'm in pieces.
Go straight away, preying your doggy is ok.
Ah Vicky, I'm so sorry. I was a state when Sam was put down. Still get very tearful thinking about him, and he died back in March :crying: I'm really sorry sweetheart *hugs*
aaw We're taking her tomorrow, i'm hoping it's nothing serious. 7 seems too young for tumours. Apart from the lump she's fine, she's all bouncy and eating etc.
Oh Vicky that's horrible . My old dog died in a similar way to that. She got poisoned by something she picked up while on a walk and had a fit on the day before Christmas Eve, the vet thought it was epilepsy so gave her drugs for that. But the drugs hid the real results of her kidney tests and then the day after Boxing Day her lung collapsed. They told us she was getting better on Christmas Day, so we went to see her on Boxing Day. It was horrible.
*many hugs for you*
Ballerina I'm sure things will be fine.
Mesha was only 6. she had a scan today and she was riddled with vicious tumours, putting her to sleep was the only thing we could do.
I've lost 3 dogs in 2 yrs now. We always say never again! But we always seem to home rescue dogs because people know we care.
My phone's broke too with all the photos of her
Sorry Ballerina, like someone else said, dogs have lumps and bumps all over the place. Mine always have.
