Where are my dog's lymph nodes??

[@JesStar512]

Wow! I'm glad there's still a vet out there that actually CARES!!

[@DrSueCancerVet]

😊💜

[@VetTechNikki]

There are plenty of vets out there who care. I work with a ton of them.

[@SummerHawaii582]

They still charge a fortune!!!!!! Hundreds of dollars.sometimes thousands.!!!! They care more about their fat wallets!!!

[@SummerHawaii582]

@@VetTechNikki not for exotic animals. I called for 16 vets for over three hours!!!

[@VetTechNikki]

@@SummerHawaii582 Absolutely for exotic animals. For all animals. Again, I work with several doctors and many of them see exotic pets. I've worked with them for 21 years and I've seen what they do for people and animals daily. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean they all should be demonized. AND if you can't afford your pets, you shouldn't have them anyway. Veterinarians go to school for 8+ years and pay half a million dollars or more for their education. They're allowed to charge for medical care. It's not charity, it's a business. It's a HOSPITAL. It costs thousands a day just to keep the buildings running and staff employed. And people wonder why vet staff have the highest suicide rates? 🙄

Thank you so much for all the video's! I'm sure you hear that a lot, but it truly is helpful to all of us pet owners out there! I worked with a Vet for many years and I know how hard it can be. I am thinking my Boxer has Lymphoma....We just made a appointment after watching a lot of your video's. Thanks again!

How is Remmy since his relapse? I hope he is in remission .

[@yossimeyer1887]

Dr. Sue, we need your help our 5 year old beagle has lymphoma! How did you treat the pup in the video? We have been prescribed prednisone every other day! Other than chemo is there anything else we can try? Sophia is still active and eating!

[@razorsmum]

My dog has had swollen lymph nodes under his jaw for over a year now. I have brought this to my vets attention many times. He has chosen to ignore this. After 40 years with this vet, I've located another vet. The first thing he did was remove a growth in his throat, benign. Nodes are still swollen, his bloodwork was good. Am I missing something here?

[@kingjuice4557]

How cone you didn't talk about the axillary lymph nodes ?

[@lovitverma7489]

Hi... I am a vet from India.... Good information..... 🙂

[@misspy1153]

What about Axillary??

[@GabaFernandez2014]

Do the mandibular lymph nodes, when they are normal, feel like a grape? or could that be the salivary glands?

[@belenhernandez4367]

Someone please answer lol

[@tonychristensen6714]

How about the ones in the arm pit on the front legs ? Are those ones as important

[@DrSueCancerVet]

Hi! Good question!! Those are called the axillary and are not usually palpable even in dogs with lymphoma. Sometimes they can be big.

[@jennifers.3818]

I just found a lump in my dogs armpit. Feels just like a "gland" or lymph node. Its not huge but definitely noticeable. maybe size of a "fluffy" lima bean lol, or small grape. I've read you're not supposed to be able to feel the nodes in the armpit at all. Is this true? Should I be concerned about cancer?? I felt for the nodes in his "belly" near the penis area, on either side of it, real low. I can feel one, wasn't big but I did find it. Are you supposed to be able to feel those at all?? Im so worried he may have cancer. Ik he needs to go to vet, we've had a major snowstorm and everything is closed. I just wanted some basic info on the "swollen" node in armpit.Ive read that more than likely with a swollen lymph node in dogs that its cancer. are the chances of something else low?? Can u give me any info?

[@tonychristensen6714]

@@jennifers.3818 i seen the vet about mine having these lumps and they put a needle in there and tested it and it turned out to just be fatty lumps , 2 years later and my boy is still here :),

[@williamholiday6301]

Thank you Dr. Sue for all of the helpful information. I have an 8 year old yellow female lab. I recently took her in for a rabies shot and wellness exam (Feb 2nd). I discovered swollen lymph nodes about a week ago below her jaw and now other areas. I have a vet appointment on Sunday and will see if I can get her in for an aspirate sooner. Could this have anything to do with the rabies vaccine? Thank you!

[@paulinahanic8805]

how did it go? Was there a connection with the vaccination?

[@razorsmum]

They shouldn't have given the vaccine IMHO. Vaccines should only be given to healthy animals. M.

[@krampus3901]

Hey, I noticed in your videos you don’t discuss T-Zone Lymphoma (indolent lymphoma). Do you have experienced with this rare type? Prognosis? My Golden Retriever was just diagnosed with it and he is taking steroids and chemotherapy tablets.

[@AndreaOlazabal]

Hello Dr. Sue, hope you are doing great. I'm sorry to interrupt you with question but I'm really desperate for a second opinion: my dog (2 years old, bloodhound mix and neutered) were detected with multicenter lynphomas 4 months ago, we started the treatment very quickly after the diagnosis. His first treatment almost killed it because he got an infection and we spent parts of the chemotherapy money to pay the emergency in the hospital, after my dog get out of the hospital he started again with the chemotherapy and he was doing great until we finished all the money that we had save. We asked to my dog's Dr. If we can do it now the chemotherapy treatments every 2 weeks (so we can have enough time to make more money to pay the treatments) and the Doctor said that it was fine because the idea is keeping the treatment. Unfortunately, few days ago I was checking to my dog and I felt again the nodules in my dog neck (no the same size as the beginning) but the are growing again and I'm so devastated right now, my next dog's appointment is this 09/19 and I just wanted to know what can happened? why the nodules back in the middle of the chemotherapy? My dog's Dr. told me at the beginning that my dog Lynphomas were the B cells (I understood that this kind of lymphoma is the most common and most easy treatment with a remission until 14 months or more in some cases) Please! Dr. Sue help us with your response🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏

[@KarenmitchellANI]

All in remission? Chemo is shit

[@tracyhaines8701]

my dog is a mixed breed and only 8 months old he has a lump on his lower neck

[@BelindaTN]

It’s there lymph nodes right behind the front legs, behind the elbows?

[@DrSueCancerVet]

no, none with the elbow :)

[@BelindaTN]

Dr Sue Cancer Vet I was not meaning with the elbows. But behind them on the rib cage. In looking further, I found there is one in the “arm pit” area. Still not sure exactly where that is on a dog. On the diagram is is labeled “Axillary”. But It is just a drawing and cannot see exactly where that is. Just a line drawn, pointing behind the elbow on the rib cage.

[@DrSueCancerVet]

@@BelindaTN yes there is an axillary lymph node. Not normally present in healthy dogs

[@TechnicalBarbarity]

my dog was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma a few weeks ago and just this morning i noticed her front right leg is swelling up for no reason. I think it might be the axillery lymph node? What can i do?? Please help

What are your thoughts on Apoquel pills for allergies?

[@DrSueCancerVet]

As a cancer specialist, I do not prescribe this medication but I do have patients that are on it. I would definitely talk to your veterinarian or a dermatologist about it. They can provide more info than I can. If you have a cancer question, that is my are of expertise :)

[@verdenlatchford3542]

@@DrSueCancerVet OK thank you!

[@marifigueroa8805]

Don't do it. You need to find ways to stimulate the immune system. Change the food and better suplements. "Allergies" are the bodies way of telling you there is something going into your dog that's hurting it. Apoquel suppresses the immune system (a safety blanket). It tricks the body into not being reactive and showing you the owner that the "itching" its gone. When essentially all you did is stopped the body from doing what God intended to do show us when something is wrong! Dogs are sentient beings we don't know how our babies feel if we pump them up with meds. Dogs have a very high tolerance for pain. It's not easy dealing with a dog that has a skin condition( try your best). Research: detox, demodex mange, vaccinosis, raw diet, yeast, malassezia, parasites, systemic yeast infection Pls avoid giving your dog a high carb diet aka kibble, do give your dogs diet that uses fat and protein for energy dogs are not chickens! High carbs are a way dog food manufacturers can make money by selling us less protein (what our dogs are supposed to eat). The beautiful thing about 2020 is that we have access to information THE TRUTH! Stop making big pharmaceutical companies richer! It will not be easy! Good luck!

[@kiwiequis4144]

Purple skin means there's little blood supply or bruising. Pimples more often than not mean infection. Lethargy and dehydration can mean infection. I do hope you took this dog to the vet ASAP and he's doing okay!
