I need help :( My 12 year old dog has a big growth on his side. The vet says maybe cancer, but we have to remove it and biopsy it to be sure. Estimate is a little over1400 dollars :( The vet did an aspiration of the lump, got out a tiny sample, and looked at it under the microscope. She said she didn't like how it felt when she removed the sample (crunchy as opposed to fatty). After looking at the sample she said it was definitely not a fatty tumor, but she couldn't say for sure that it is cancer.
Does anyone have a vet they could recommend who might be more affordable? He has a heart murmur so a chunk of that money is going towards making sure his heart will be ok during sedation. Any suggestions? I am in chandler :)
