my dog is a japanese species which is called"shiba ken",
and she has been raised for 14 yeadrs.
the tumour has been being on her right leg for about 7 or 8 years.
for the past 8 years ,the tumour didn't grow bigger or made her feel uncomfortable,thus we thought the tumour wouldn't do any harm to her and she would be ok.
but during the recent 2 months,
the tumour became bigger than it used to be(it still didn't make any changes on her,she was still energetic and still ate a lot)
we are worried about the tumour if it will become bigger and bigger,which even make her uneasy to walk,so we took her to 2 different hospitals.
the vets of 2 different hospitals both said my dog should have an operation.
what i am worried about is that she is very old,and the process of
anesthesia will be a threat.
so i want to ask:
1.is this necessary for her to have an operation.?
2.is she ok to have the operation according to her blood test?
3.the tumour becomes bigger,does it mean it is a malignant one?and can you judge by the pictures i posted?
thank you for answering,i appreciate a lot!!!!
我的狗狗是一隻純種的柴犬
養了她已經有14年了
她的右後腳有一顆腫瘤
已經跟著她有7.8.年了
原本就是一顆平常如小番茄般突起的腫瘤
也沒有變大或令她有不適的狀況
因此也一直沒有要去開刀切除的想法
但在最近一兩個月
發現腫瘤有變大的跡象(但她的精神食慾都還是很好沒有任何改變)
於是帶她去看醫生
兩家醫院的醫生
都說要做外部切除
但因為她年紀大
我們很擔心手術麻醉的過程會有危險性
因此想請問
1.是否有動手術的必要性?
2.以他的健康狀況來說是否適合動手術?
3.瘤變大是否代表是惡性瘤?以及 你可以從照片判斷出是良性或惡性嗎?
感謝你的回答!!!!!
