she has had a complete doggy hysterectomy five years ago because of false pregnancies so i know she is not pregnate, only one of her breast is swollen. I called the vet and they said to bring her in, but i am a bit scared. I have had her for over 10 years. Any one ever seen this before?

Yes she could have mamarry tumors. She was allowed to have several heat cycles and that increases the risk. See the vet!!!!!

A tumor is possible, but it is most likely a swollen from an infection or other blockage, but you should definitiely have it checked out--there really is no way to tell over the Internet.

I hate to give you bad news, but it sounds like a breast tumor, possibly cancer. Take her to the vet right away.

It sounds like she was not spayed until she was older.
It is very possible that she has mamary cancer.
It is much more common in dogs that are not spayed. Their risk of cancer increases with each heat they go through that is one of the reasons they tell you to spay them younger.

Could be cancer. I'd have it checked out. For future reference, spay all your pets when they are young. If its puppies you want, pick one up at your local pound. Thousands of puppies are killed every day because there isn't enough homes for them. Dogs need safe sex too!!

Possible mammory tumor. If they get it all out in time, It may not matastisize if its malignant. Hopefully it is begign. Good luck.

If you love your dog the way I love my dogs you would take her to the vet. Don't prolonged it.

Its infected. Go to your doctor immediately. She might have to have surgery ( not to scare you ).
