my dog(2 year old black lab/golden retreiver) went under for a major surgery the other day, we took her in to get fixed and it turned out she had 3 lumps on her leg. they turned out to be cancer :lol: .....she has about 25 stitches down her leg, its a big slice. just wonderin if anybody has had this happen to their dog, and what results come out of it. doc said they are sendin the tumor out to Toronto to find out what type of cancer it is. hopefully she is okay...just wanna know if this has happened to anybody elses dog and what outcome? i hope she doesnt have the type that spreads real fast...shes my best friend.

Sorry to hear that. Hope all turns out well. When I was younger my parents dog had a tumor in his jaw. They actually removed part of his jaw and he lived a few more yrs and his passing wasnt related to cancer just old age. I dont know what I would do without mine. He is 2-1/2 yrs old and is great with our little one. They are buddies.

 

I like the fishing picture. I have to keep mine on a leash when we go. he sits and when he sees the bobber go under he knows a fish is on the way. He will lick the fish when you get it to shore. This past summer my dad had one on the line and the sharp part of the fin got him and pissed him off, he tried to eat the next fish haha

I ve had several Goldens and still do. It s more common in Labs and Goldens . Sometimes they are only fatty cysts and we stopped removing them from our Goldens cause they are harmless, But I guess if your dogs is cancer they should come out. I wish you the best luck at this tough time.

Hey man, sorry to hear this. Give me a little more info. What did the masses look like? (size, shape, color) There are quite a few possibilities on types of masses (cancerous and noncancerous). Did your veterinarian feel like was able to get all of them with adequate margins?

 

Here is the good news. You have a young and I assuming otherwise healthy lab. Malignant cancer would be very unusual in a dog her age (not impossible though, I do see it). The 2 most common masses I will find on a young dogs legs are Histiocytomas and Mast Cell tumors. Histiocytomas are benign and removal is curative. Mast cells can vary greatly from no big deal to really big deal. As mentioned by someone else fatty tumors (lipomas) are very common also, but I don't suspect you vet would put you through any real concern if he suspected a lipoma. Those are very easy to diagnose.

 

I will be thinking about you, keep us informed and please don't hesitate to pm me if you have any other questions.

hey man, from what i gather their was 3 tumors, they were all close together. he said they were malignant for that reason, im guessing they were mast cell tumors. he also said it was very inflamed around the tumors. its weird cuz the bumps did not bother her at all. we feel really stupid for not bringing her in sooner, she never looked like she was in pain ever. always happy. we are waitin for the results from a place in toronto that examines tumors to find out which type of cancer it is. and hopefully they got it all and it didnt spread anywhere else. the vet said the cells were very aggresive tho....i hope she is okay.

 

and to ryan i also have a 6 month old too. this pic is when she was pretty much newborn tho. riley is awesome with my daughter too. wicked dog

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
