Hi, if you do a search-using the browser bar at the left of your picture and message. At the top of the box it says, "Search this site" Left click on the words, "Search this site" and enter tumor, retriever, or cancer, and it should bring up discussions about this subject, where you can see other people's opinions and their experiences, besides whatever people say to you now. My hound has been stressed out from cruel neighbors and she didn't do well with a different brand of flea med. She's okay and getting back to being a clown, but she lost weight-got rashes-hot spots-even dehydrated. I was worried a lot. I can only imagine how you feel. I added key words, so the next time you read this, scroll down to the bottom of th page and it'll have threads for this particular health problem. Do you find this valuable?
