The specific details of how an animal gets cancer.
Please refer to my previous posts on this topic, you seem to think that my original post was directed at you.

NO! How the specific case was diagnosed! If you would read the whole thread you would know what I was talking about.

I can respond to a thread without having to read your posts, djc. I was replying to the OP's question.

I know someone who's competition dog went off their food at four years old.  Not too worried, they took the dog to the vet....cancer that had already metatacized,  not sure where it originated in the body.  Went from an apparently healthy competition dog to death in a week.  (Obviously the cancer was there, spreading, but there were no symptoms until it was too late.)

Of course you can! Well informed people take the whole thread in so that they can make appropriate responces. Skimmers just cause more problems like this one.

I saw that no one had answered the OP's questions, so I did. You misinterpreted my post...guess we all need to do a little closer reading.

Yep;  I would guess hemangioscarcoma;  my friends died of it and it was throughout his body just before his 3rd birthday.  Very sad and very deadly and yes, we are seeing it in our young dogs.  So sorry for your friends loss;  3 is just devastating.  Nan

PS:  know the spelling of hemangio is not correct but you get what I mean, I am sure.

Nans_gsd, my dog also had hemangiosarcoma at three, though fortunately we caught it in time. It was a tense few months and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Cancer is a terrible thing to go through with any dog, but it's especially hard to have those years taken away from a young dog.

Was there a biopsy done to confirm the cancer?  I had a 3 year old NEARLY diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, my vet was convinced of the diagnosis, but the pathology report came back as just an inflammatory process of the spleen.  I still have that dog, she is nearly 9 now and healthy. I know dogs can get cancer at any age but  most  are much more common after the age of 6....).
