Hi! I'm desperate to hear a second opinion about my dog case. I attached her x-Ray. The doctors said it could be something oncological as she has that injury without being Hurt. I'm about to go with her for more tests. Please help me with an advice.

Hello. That is definitely a swelling that should be further investigated. Given her age, hopefully this is something benign, but you should continue with testing to see what is going on. Hope she is well soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
