Okay, first things first, about a week ago we found a puppy next to our house hiding scared under the abandoned trailer. She had a collar, but no tags and no microchip. We planned to rehome her, but then our aussie chased a cat into the street and was killed. So now we plan to keep the puppy, recently named Daisy.
She appears to be a German Shepherd or an Australian Shepherd mix. She has the tan legs and cheeks and eyebrows of both of those breeds, but the black muzzle more like the GSD. Anyway, she got a flea dip and some good food and has warmed up to everyone.
I have noticed that she has lumps, one under each of her "arm pits" on the forelegs. Then another on each side her lower neck. And yet another "set" side by side on her lower stomache near her hoochycooch
.
Now, I'm thinking since they are somewhat symetrical along her body and occur in "pairs" maybe they are swollen limph nodes? But are there limph nodes in those locations? I mean, I can't imagine cancer being located so symmetrical I know the final say will come from the vet. I'm hoping it won't be something too serious, but I wanted to get an idea from people more knowledgeable on the subject.
