i have a beautiful old 9 year bitch with puffy teats between her back legs.A Vet nerse with no people skill when i asked the question told n me it was mamory cancer which normally is fatal. the growths are new but seem to be more noticebe,soft not graineyIt looks like a bitch that is feeding pups but only between her back legs.There is no blood or discharge or skin lose like the internet states.Shes 9 and i dont want to put her through any major op,shes not in pain , a bit over weight ,eating OK ,being lazy sleeping alot,no limp and can get around OK ,wees Ok. A vet site said tumeric , Maple syrup and Baking Soda mixed and given down the throat can lesson inflamation. I love the old dog,is there anything else i can for her , dont really want to put her through a major Op THANKS Michael

You have been around the traps a bit Mick ...Why ask this kind of Question when clearly if you don't know then get her off to a Greyhound Vet ASAP ..
It could be a range of things so ring a Vet tomorrow first thing and these things develop fast and can be very aggressive tumor .....
Vet advice only......... is required not some Vet nurse or any other person should be giving you advice with this kind of problem ..
