Tumors

My vet told me the same thing about boxers being prone to tumores when I took her in for a "lump" she developed on her forearm. The lump kept getting bigger and bigger so the vet finally removed it and it turned out to be non-cancerous. I just found another lump on her back the other day. Of course- I'm praying that it also turns out to be nothing - its nervewracking to have to wait!!! And I'm not sure how I would react if it was cancer.

Roxanne had two mast cell tumors removed from her head that were grade 1, very low grade and all was removed. I cried when I heard but a wonderful boxerworld poster (Roxy's mama) told me their pup had the same thing and hasn't had any problems since. I felt much better.
The best thing you can do is to have them biopsied right away.
Please keep us informed, our best wishes and happy thoughts to you and Libby!
