1 year old with a tumor??!!!
Sammi was a year old on 11/14. Three days later I noticed a bum on his side. Am going to the vet Thursday. Scared to death!!! I've had older dogs with "fatty cysts"...but the first vet said it was a tumor and we should wait and see if it grows before we put him under anesthesia. The secod opinion is this Thursday. I can't find any "prone to" postings on any websites...any ideas?

A year old dog with a fatty cyst is unusual I would think. I just went throught the same thing with my corgi mixed. It started out the size of a dime in February, and by August, it was the size of a golf ball. I had her to the vet's in February and then June, to have them look at it and document it. By August we determined to have it removed and tested. It was a cancerous tumor, but the vet thinks we may have gotten to it in time. Now, she gets weekly chest and belly rubs to see if anymore have appeared. The bad news is that one could develop inside her lungs and we wouldn't know about it until it was too late.
So, I suggest you have a vet look at it, keep a close eye on it for it's growth. If it grows real fast, have it removed and tested. It would ease your mind.
