My dog developed a fatty tumor in 11/2003. I was referred my my vet to the U of F vet school. It was located on her right back leg. It was as big as your dog's. They removed what they could. However because it was in her leg muscle they could not get it all. This left the possibility of it returning, which it did. It's now as big as before. Currently were (vet and I) are just watching it. It has not hindered her functioning.

I love these dogs. My current baby turned 11 years old in December. Her name is Mattie and she is the love of my life. She is tri-color. I got my first Basenji in 1977 (red & white) "Nicki". Mattie is my fourth.
