now i haven't decide yet, but i'll share what the vet did mentioned about the surgery:

#1 She prefer to get Jojo's blood tested in lab
#2 The surgery to cut the tumor
#3 The thread cost to stitch (tumor and spay)
#4 The drug while surgery
#5 The spay surgery
#6 The antibiotics

and those has not finish yet, if Jojo is weak after the surgery, then she must stay at the vet which will add the bills.

So before i decide any decisions, I have a few questions:

1) As you know, once your pet has a tumor, even it has taken away, there are chances for Jojo to has another tumor. How big the chances is depends on how bad the tumor is now and the vet has no idea about it until she had a surgery. My question is, is it possible to know how bad the tumor before the surgery?

2) Are the vet's actions which I mentioned above are proper? I mean, is there any other way to cure Jojo?

3) Are there anything I should do to prevent the disease spread to anyone or other pets? The vet suggest me to wash hands after touching Jojo and get her the diapers

Thanks for the infos and advices guys, appreciate it a lot

i'm so sorry to hear this, my friends dog had a mammory tumour removed & lived for 3 more years she was almost 16yrs when she died, so i think it would be wonderful if your lovely dog was given a chance. I think the vet is doing the correct thing for the tumour if its not removed it will probably spread & you dont have to worry you cant catch the disease & neither can other pets. Good luck with her.
