Hi my 8year old Rottweiler has a lump on her vagina. She was spaid 3 years ago. Otherwise Roxy has always been totally healthy. Not sure if its just natural swelling or something more. Grateful for your opinion. Tara.

This lump needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Roxy to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
