My senior dog has a bleeding neck tumor. How can I stop the bleeding?

Question

The Vet saw my dog last week and didn't want to take any action due to her age. My 15 year old silky has a neck tumor that lost it's scab and has been bleeding for 3 days now. She is not in any pain and is still happy and eating well. Is there something I can do to stop the bleeding??

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Bonnie! Is Bonnie otherwise healthy? No hear murmur and normal blood work? How big is this bleeding mass? Personally I do not think that age is a disease. If Bonnie is otherwise in good health and the mass isn't huge I think you should consider removing it. If your Vet isn't comfortable you can see a different Dr with in the practice or another Vet. If you do not want to take it off you can try a light bandage around the neck until it hopefully scabs over. I wish you the best!
