Default How long can a dog live with untreated skin cancer? - 12-21-2008, 02:23 PM

My dog is almost 8 years old. She is an albino Doberman. She belongs to my boyfriend and I am assuming he did not know to keep her out of the sun. I started noticing moles on her that were growing fast and told him he had to have her checked and he did. It came back positive for skin cancer she is covered in moles now and it is too out of control. They said they could cut them out but there are too many. I know and treatment is too exspensive so I would just like an idea of how long will she live and what signs to look for. Right now she seems happy and healthy like her normal loving self. Thank You.

It depends on what type on cancer it is, what grade or stage it is (how severe or malignant), whether it has spread to other areas or not... There are a lot of things that determine how long they may live for.

Each dog is different. There is no standard timetable for this. Key is to protect her from further sun expsoure and to make sure she is kept comfortable. Not to mention, knows she is loved!
