No. Fortunately, it's benign. Thanks for asking.

Someone had a smelly discharge and we couldn't figure out who it was. Sunday night the 15th, Anna was sleeping on my lap and had the discharge on my pants leg, so I made an appointment for Monday, thinking she had a UTI. No infection was found, but while doing a sonogram of her to see if her bladder was full so the vets could get a urine sample, a large tumor showed up on the sonogram. I had it removed the next day, the 17th, and got the pathology results yesterday. It was a benign cyst. She has to stay quiet for another week, and I have to keep her isolated from Cooper. She's been very good about not licking her stitches and I haven't had to put the cone of shame on her.

Between her tumor incision and her pyometra scar, her tummy looks like Frankensteins dog!

However, the other bad news is that I took Cooper to the annual cardio clinic and the cardiologist said she's 90% sure that Cooper is developing DCM because his left ventricle is enlarged, but his Holter came back normal. Cooper is almost 7 and it's great that it was caught so early because it's treatable and it won't affect his activities. He'll be on medication the rest of his life. Dogs that get treated this early can live another 6 years, which will allow Cooper to live out his natural life span.
