I often foster senior dogs in hospice. The dog I currently have has cutaneous melanoma. He has sores all over his body and has lost 2 toenails. His skin is kind of raw & pink. Rescue group didn't tell me much about this disease and understandably doesn't want to spend a lot on vet care. I am feeling ill prepared for what is to come. He sheds pieces of skin with fur attached. This good boy is currently super happy and loving with a great appetite and regular, healthy bowel movements. He is taking prednisone, simplicef and tramadol as needed. I know there are probably many different things that could happen but just wondering if it's more likely it will spread to internal organs or will he just be one big mess of festering sores. I am so worried I won't know when it's time. I appreciate any insight you can give.

My beagle/lab mix had a few malignant melanoma tumors removed about a month or two ago, and ever since, each day she is getting more and more lumps all over her body. Our vet said there is nothing we can do at this point besides the medication they gave us. She is still eating and drinking water, but we can’t tell if she is in pain. Her breathing sounds different and she lays down in the corner of my room a lot. I am wondering what her survival time could be and what the symptoms are of her being in pain so that we can make the right decision for her. Thank you!

My dog who is 12 years old had a malignant tumor removed from his mouth in January. He has since developed another mass in his mouth. I want to do whatever I can to make sure he is comfortable and not in pain and don't not want any further surgeries. What is the prognosis.

Our 15 year old male dog was found to have a 2 cm growth in his mouth. The biopsy identified it as a poorly pigmented melanoma with an MI of 2. During the procedure, his heart rate dropped to 40 so our Vet was not able to completely remove all the growth. I have not been able to find out much about poorly pigmented melanoma with a low MI. Is it recommended to try and remove any additional growth?

My 6 yr old rottweiler female had a 2 year old mass removed from skin near her foot. It was slow growing and had recently changed color and reached its current size of about 2.5 cms in last 2 months. Got it surgically removed. Vet said it was very superficial and shallow. Of size 2.5 cms. On biopsy it was revealed as within the dermis, highly pigmented cutaneous malignant melanoma. There was no metastasis seen via lymph node aspiration and whole body x rays. No other signs or symptoms. Vet is further consulting specialist before initiating any treatment. He said there is a chance tumor cells did not detach as it was very superficial and if it hasn’t metastasized in 2 years Then maybe it won’t But he cannot guarantee anything. I am worried about my baby. I have started ganoderma, soursop, wheatgrass and curcumin supplementation. Also waiting for homoeopathy anti cancer kit that I ordered. Can you please suggest prognosis and treatment for above situation.

My 11 year old dog had a small malignant melanoma (like a skin tag) on her mouth and we had it removed. She then started the vaccine in March of 2019. I also had the dna stain and her Ki67 was 2, 0 mitoses in 10 high power fields. I am up to $10,000. 3 months ago she had the dexascan and no tumors visible. Now they want another xray and yet her 6 month vaccine in a month. She is also going to get therapy as she has had hip issues forever. I am in a quandry...do I have the x ray and do I have another vaccine? (1400 more).I also give her life gold. how long will she have if I do not do anything more; when it comes to the melanoma?
