Hey! I am sorry to read this. When a dog is uncomfortable due to bleeding tumors that are infected, smell, oozing puss and blood and invasive over large areas of their body where surgical intervention is not possible or there are too many tumors- it is acceptable to euthanize. When dogs are geriatric, over 8-9 Years old, cannot walk, sleep most of the day or have dementia it is acceptable to euthanize. There is no wrong answer if an owner is questioning if it is time. Owners know their pets best and if they seem like they are suffering to you, then you are the best judge and they probably are and it is time to put them to sleep. This is the hardest thing for all pet lovers. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

It's hard for me to help make a plan for him without knowing more (is the cancer in remission? what did his last bloodwork look like? Are you seeing fluid build-up secondary to the cancer or fat? etc.) so your veterinarian is definitely the best one to ask about this.

Probably but your veterinarian is the best one to ask because it can upset their stomachs.

I would need to know a lot more about him to really give you good advice so your veterinarian is definitely the best one to ask but, in general, Buprenorphine doesn't have to be given with food.

If you have to choose, I would lean toward Buprenex because cats don't tolerate NSAIDs like Piroxicam well. If he has entirely normal bloodwork, he may be able to tolerate low dosages of both.

We usually like to taper them off of steroids, rather than stopping cold turkey - but if she has only taken it for 3 days, it may be ok - talk to your veterinarian about tapering and using a lower dosage maybe.

I would need a LOT more information to really properly advise you: I would need to see all of her bloodwork, x-rays and ultrasounds, any pathology reports, etc. so consult your veterinarian, who has access to all of that, for the best advice.

No - that is definitely incorrect. Please don't do that. You filed this under "cancer" so yes, that needs to be ruled out by your veterinarian.

Masses can be benign, malignant and everything in between. It is impossible to tell, just by looking at a mass, what kind of cells it contains. Have your veterinarian check it out - they will usually do a "fine needle aspirate" - a little mini-biopsy where they stick a small needle in it and suck some cells out and either look at it right there in their office or send it off to a pathologist. Then you can make a plan for it - if it is definitely benign, your veterinarian may recommend doing nothing.

Since I refer my cancer patients to veterinary oncologists, I never prescribe this, so I'm not a good person to ask. Ask whomever prescribed the medication.

There is no way to upload pictures through our platform. Even if you could, it would be more ideal for a veterinarian to get a live, 3D view of it so seeing your veterinarian is ideal. There are platforms where you can upload pictures for veterinarians to review but they charge a small fee - like JustAnswer.com.

It is probably not from the vaccine - especially if it is "under her jaw side of neck". Have your veterinarian recheck her and they will aspirate it to see.

Yes, potentially but a specialist would have to do it - often found at your nearest veterinary school or a specialty practice - this is not routinely done in regular private practices.

Probably not significantly that we know of but the studies are all still kind of new and every dogs situation is unique (what kind of cancer you are treating exactly, other health problems, age, weight, amount of prednisone taking, what bloodwork looks like, etc etc.) so consult your veterinarian to see if adding CBD oil might be right for your dog.
