Pet owners warning

I could not find the pet forum link...

Just wanted to tell people.... One of our Schnauzers has undergone radiation treatment for a cancer on her lip. Please check your dog's mouth often. This is a fast growing cancer and if it gets too far, they can not remove it but radiation sometime helps. She had to have 19 treatments and is doing great so far. Still has a sore on her muzzle from after effects of the radiation. But is healing up.
This usually shows up in larger dogs so is rather unusual for a small Schnauzer to have this type of cancer.
She is 9 years old and this will give her about 2 more years of good quality life. A year to a dog is like 10 years.
At least we know we have done all we can do. So glad we got her into treatment.
