Tumor????

Post by Powhatan CD »

I was looking the females for a health check the other day and one of them (9) years old has a hard knot in what i guess is near her uterus...looks pretty swollen and hard as a rock but in no apparent pain...any ideas?

Is it in her mammory glands (teats)?
I would get her in right away, as mammory tumors can be cancer. Many are benign, but it's best to get it removed just in case.

Is there any distinct "lump" or just general swelling? If it were a "tumor" you would be able to feel edges. It would also be almost perfectly rounded (circular shaped), but could feel lumpy.
