dog with recurrence of mammary tumor
Last year my Belgian Shepard (7yo neutered - after the tumor) Heidi had a tumor removed on her mammary gland. The vet also removed the gland and she was spayed at that time. The tumor was cancerous but the gland was benign. This week I noticed two more cysts near the same site. The vet said that this was unusual also they felt firm. Monday Heidi will have the two cyst removed and a chest x-ray done to see if there is any sign of cancer in her lung area. My question is if there is no mammary gland why would the cyst grow back and since she was spade and hormones are not being produced what are the chances of these cyst being malignant. Please add any additional info you can and what would be your advice. |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
