This CAN be cured surgically.
My Berner Jorda, my spiritual sister, had a mast cell tumor removed from her
foot at age four years and lived, cancer free, for ANOTHER NINE YEARS,
succumbing to large cell lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma at age thirteen years

Kathy,
Mast cell is a type of cancer that often responds well to treatment
(surgery/radiation), but I do know some dogs who have died from it,
especially the more advanced grades 2 and 3. Grade refers to how
aggressive the type of cancer cells are, as diagnosed by their appearance

Hi Kathy,
From the experiences I have had with mast cell tumors, your vet's
comments are accurate. As long as the tumor is excised so that the
edges are clean, it is unlikely that the tumor will return. I've had
several Berners, middle-aged and older (6+ years), that have had grade 1
mast cell
Mary,
The article you posted was truncated...have I missed the rest of it re-posted?
Also, can you please provide the author and source of this article. It
refers to NRC and AAFCO guideline, but doesn't appear to have been issued by
one of those organizations.

Hi Pat,
I really don't want to sound picky here but were these tumours sent to the
laboratory for identification for malignancy type (obviously the first case
was). If tumours were removed by vets and not sent for identification it
would be difficult to know whether they were benign cysts or

We have been feeding both our dogs Innova without any orthopedic problems. So
does this mean that Innova causes excellent hips and elbows? ;-)

Hi all,
I just have to share this --- I don't know whether to be proud or not!!
We have french doors in the back of the house leading out to a big
deck. They have those long handles that you just have to push down to
open. Well, my husband was working outside I was upstairs. He looked
around

One of the mammary tumor cases mentioned by Pat was my
dog Hailey. She is still alive at almost 11.5 years
of age. (She was the case mentioned as had been bred,
and was spayed at age 5.5.) If I remember correctly
she was diagnosed with the mammary tumor about 6
months after she was spayed. Her

I believe some hunters in this area have GPS devices on their dog's collars
but I don't know anything about them. Problem of course is if the collar
comes off, it doesn't do much good.

I am so glad I have become part of this mailing list. I live in Pittsburgh,
PA and I have a 15 month old berner named Dexter who has just been diagnosed
with dysplatia in the elbows. He never shows sever signs of discomfort, he
just acts a little stiff after a long night's sleep or a long nap.
Our 18 month old berner was just diagnosed with a histiocytoma. Our vet
says we should just use a cream (Dermalone) for two weeks to see if it goes
away. After reading research on Berners and their tendency to have
malignant tumors I am considering getting a second opinion. Is there
As a breeder who has access to one of the best
orthopedic vets around, I have not had to worry about
my pet owners panicking if the x-rays show signs of
dysplasia. My vet knows his stuff. He understands
why pet dogs without symptoms are x-rayed and even
provides multi-dog discounts to encourage
