Hi there,
Me and my mum have just found out that our 13 year old Springer Spaniel, Ben has got a nasal tumour which our vet believes is cancerous.
.

For several months now Ben has always had a runny nose. We visited our vet who thought it was an infection but warned us that because of his age it could be a tumour. He gave Ben a big injection of anti-biotics and told us if he was no better within 3 weeks to bring him back. A month later his health has got worse. His face is swollen, and he also has breathing difficulties and all he wants to do is lay in the shade. We took him back to the vets on Wednesday who diagnosed Ben with a tumour. The vet asked if he was still eating and drinking and we said yes so the vet gave him some more anti-biotics but told us that hes not got long left.
.
The vet told us to leave it 5 days and if it got no better to have him put to sleep. The lump looks bigger today but we really dont know what to do for the best.
Can someone please give us their opinion on what to do
.

Many thanks
.

Ali and Andrea
