Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

Hello Doodlelovers,

Recently, before Christmas, we found a lump on Yankee's left hip.  After visiting the vet she said it needs to be removed.  Fast forward to Tuesday, it was removed and the size of a lemon; and it was not a fatty tumor.  We had it sent out for biopsy, but takes a week to get back results.  Does anyone have first hand experience with tumors in Goldendoodles?

You can imagine our sadness.  Yankee, 8 in April, has been a therapy dog for 7 years working with children, the elderly and those effected by crises in Arizona.  To say he is a part of the family is trite, as he is definition of love and compassion to us.  

If you have had experience with tumors in Goldendoodles please let me know.  I did check with his breeder and all the litter mates are in perfect health, 7 in all.

Thank you!

I know how anxious you must feel.  But take hope.  No experience with doodle lumps, but had a husky who had a malignant breast tumor and four of her breasts removed at 8, another at 12 with remaining four breasts and she live to be 16.  Even took herself on a last break advetnture to the garage down the street in her last three months of life.  Stay hopeful!  I am thinking kind thoughts for you Yankee.

Hi! Oh that is a happy story and so kind of you to share. Cancer and dogs seems a strange one as you don't get many signs beforehand. As a therapy dog he goes to the vet several times a year. Can't imagine we could have missed something. I hope too, have a blessed day! Cindy

I am so sorry to hear this.  Waiting for the results is excruciating.  I hope the  tumor turns out to be benign.

I hope it's nothing to be concerned about.  Unfortunately our story is not a happy one - Luna our f1 goldendoodle grew several tumors seemingly overnight that turned out to be lymphoma; she was 7.5 years old.  If Yankee just has the one though it's unlikely to be lymphoma though since they seem to pop up everywhere at once (armpits/groin/neck mostly, anywhere with lymph nodes) and grow super quickly.

Hoping for good news for you and your family!

Thank you for this information. He has several fatty tumors since 2. He is an F1 too. All those we're back , hips, shoulder and belly. The big one is different and under the muscle. Hopefully it is not cancer. It was in his hip above the bone. I am sorry about your doodle. Thank you for your reply.❤️

I am so sorry- I know how stressful it is.  My guy is full of lumps and bumps everywhere.  We are going next week for more aspirations to check.   I don't have any idea but sometimes lumps can be inflammatory processes.  I really pray that that is the case for you.. These dogs are our hearts and it is torture to imagine anything being wrong..
