How long a dog survives with a malignant tumor depends on the tumor’s location, nature, the dog’s constitution and treatment, and a vet must examine and treat it to estimate remaining life. Senior dogs are more prone to tumors, so care for them more closely as they age.
If you notice lethargy, reduced appetite or other abnormal symptoms, take it to a pet hospital promptly to slow the tumor’s progression and ease the dog’s pain.
