The vet who was looking after Willow has been working nights for the past three months and not available but she had already promised to call me in three weeks time to discuss the diabetes so perhaps I will get more advice from her then. Nothing
any of you can do I know but just to hear from any of you will help. Thanks, Bob.

My 8 year old rescue cocker had an aggressive tumour there, from me taking him to the vet when I saw it, it was monitored for a week, and grew exponentially. He had it removed, a big operation, but sadly he had secondaries in his spine and so we had to let him go. We didn't know about the secondaries til a bit after the op, if I had known I wouldn't have put him through it. Can your vet not do a biopsy to find out what kind it is?
I'm so sorry that this has happened to poor Willow, and sending you hugs .

Gemma had a aggressive mammary cancer.  We had the titti removed even before the cancer was diagnosed. Despite a good clearance and clear after x-rays and scans it came back and claimed her giving us no notice whatsoever .   No money could have saved Gemma in the end

Willow spent the day in the vets last Thursday for the blood sugar U Curve which tuned out to be ok but there is a problem with her liver and worse still three lumps on her anal glands. One of them is quite large and I am very worried especially as I have read that the large one the vet referred to as a mass are often malignant and aggressive. The vet said that her age, ten years old, and with her diabetes it would be very dangerous to put her through an operation and I should consider just carrying on
and seeing how long she can go without too much pain. I am just broken and don't know what to do. The cost of an operation would be about £4500 and I will find the money somehow if that would be the right thing to do but I am not sure if it is. I can't expect anyone on here would want to advise me on this one but I just had to tell someone. Thank you, Bob

Thanks, I'm leaning towards getting it done as it just never quite goes away, and must be sore.

It’s a relatively easy operation with good results.

My rainbow girl Olive had her glands removed after years of problems. The vey who carried out the surgery said that
Her glands were very long and that they would never have been completely emptied hence the repeated infections.
