Pet Forum

Just today cut our Yorkie's hair short and found a big at least golf ball size tumor under her skin between an inner part of her rear thigh and her belly.She is 12 years old and never been spayed. Few months ago we noticed she started having problem with coming down the stairs and difficulty with jumping on a bed - we thought she was just getting old but now we know why. Her apetite is still very good although she's quite skinny. Could you give me any idea what the problem might be? Could that be a non-malignant lipoma? Or something worse? Of course we'll take her to the vet, but I can't wait to know....
