Mammary tumors are common in intact female dogs and are the third most common feline tumor. They often appear as firm nodules in the mammary chain and can ulcerate or spread to lymph nodes and lungs. Early spaying sharply lowers risk, and surgery is the main treatment.
Why Does Your Cat Have a Lump in Her Mammary Gland?
