My vet guessed that was the same thing with mine, I guess just by feeling them. I made the decision to not even do a biopsy on them, which makes me feel like kind of dick, but still makes sense to me. Even if they come back cancerous I wouldn't choose to try to treat it. She's so old already and the last she had her round of shots that damn near knocked her out. It's not a money issue as much as I don't want her to lose any quality of life or be in any unnecessary pain at this point. But yeah, she shows no sign of pain from the lumps.
Man, does she like to sleep nowadays though. She's got made as far as that concerned. Couches, doggy bed, my bed, she gets her pick. And I think that's alone is something I can take comfort in. All of us really. The fact of the matter is that we all have likely provided a helluva life for our pups.
