Senior dog leaking and lumps growing. When should she see a vet?

Question

My friend's boyfriend has a senior dog that is always leaking. He is too consumed with video games,beer and cigarettes that he never takes this poor dog to the vet. But constantly brags about how long he has had her and how much he "loves" her. What can I tell my friend to get for thwir senior dog, or should they do like I have been stating bluntly, "If you love the dog so mich, take her to thr damn vet" she also has these lumps on her legs. They don't hurt her, but they have been getting bigger

It could be that this dog (if she is spayed) has spay incontinence causing the leaking. This can be treated with medication. As for the lumps, it's always a possibility that any lump on a senior dog could be malignant. I agree with you, if they love her, they would take her into the vet for these issues. Dogs need regular health care, and when there is something wrong, they have to see a vet. Otherwise, they could be causing the dog to suffer. You can point that out to them, and tell them you spoke with a vet who strongly urged them to take her into the vet. I hope this helps!
