| swollen lymph nodes in legs very worried! I inherited my old lady (13 this month!) when my mum passes away and she's been fine up until now, however I found she had two swollen glands or lymph nodes near her front two armpits two days ago. they definitely weren't there last week as she is a cuddle monster and I would have found them! I took her to the vets and they say her neck glands are up too slightly and that it could be 1} her manky teeth spreading an infection 2} an infection as they feel soft not nobbly 3} lymphoma I took her back today for a fine needle thing to test the cells just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience that turned out not to be cancer? just feeling really anxious about it, she's perfectly fine in herself eating well etc. any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated! |

| My friend's dog had the same symptoms....3 years ago. The vet truly thought the worse, but she turned out to only have an infection of some sort. She was fine in a week or two, I can't remember all the details, it was so long ago. Long story short, the doggy is fine. I hope and pray for the same great outcome for your baby. |

| It could be any number of things but I'll be praying for the least serious. |

| Please consider getting her teeth cleaned (and the infected ones removed). My old boy got his dental at 13 years and I was so worried but he did great! He lost 7 teeth and he is like a new dog! He's 15 now and still going strong. A bad infection from the mouth can spread and cause permanent damage to vital organs. Best wishes!! And Im so sorry about the loss of your mother. |
