My dog has lumps and allergies. Which vet treatment is priority?

The problem with a senior dog is there is always a chance any lump could be malignant. I think having Seamus seen by a vet before the end of the month is best for him. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com I hope one of these resources helps you. Best of luck.

It sounds like Achilles may be suffering an allergic reaction if he's come home in bumps, and I would recommend seeing a vet for that. Allergic reactions can potentially progress to breathing difficulties, and it's important to have them treated to prevent that from happening. He may benefit from an antihistamine or steroids to treat the reaction. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Alfie to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis. if money is an issue, please contact the RSPCA or the PDSA and they should be able to help.

I see what you mean about the red lump on Charlie's neck. It could be a cyst, a benign growth, or potentially a malignant growth if he's an older dog. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give his vet a call in the morning to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

Without knowing the cause/type of the lumps, it would be hard to give advice. The best first step is to have one or some of the lumps aspirated to see if they are something benign such as a lipoma (which you can just keep an eye on), or something that may need to be removed that you can then try to save up for, or see if your local humane society/vet hospital offers assistance to low income clients for. Depending on what the lumps are, treatment will vary. These sites may also help in case you need to get Bella in sooner, or pay for surgery: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet https://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

I'm sorry that Ellie has a lump that is getting bigger! I see that she isn't spayed, and if the lump is located on her tummy, I would be concerned that she has a mammary tumor. Those are common in unspayed dogs, and 50% of them are malignant. She absolutely has to see a vet as soon as possible for it. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford a vet, and I can give you some resources that may help. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help.
 The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information.
 Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. I hope one of these resources helps you afford a vet, please take her into one as soon as you can.

Most skin cancers will heal completely if they are removed entirely, i would suggest having all the suspected cancerous tumors removed entirely rather than doing a biopsy first, this will be more cost effective.
