Hello,
this is my first post here. I have a question about older dobermans. We have a female doberman, 9 years old, very active and well taken care of. About a year ago we noticed a small soft lump at her breast bone. We were told it was a lipoma and not to worry. About 4 months ago we purchased a female doberman puppy. Since we got the puppy our older female has gained a lot of weight, she seems to make sure that all of her food is eaten whereas before we would give her a bowl full once a day and there usually was a little left over at the end of the day. We feed the pup separate and she is growing big but anyway, since this weight gain these lumps have also grown significantly. The older one is very active, she runs (we live in the country so she has wide open spaces to take off) I'll be taking the pup to the vet friday but I'm worried they'll want to cut into her or something invasive. She's 9 and happy otherwise so I wouldn't want to put her through anything painful. Any advice would be great, TIA
