I have an 11 year old bassett that has cancer. A few years ago he had a small cancerous tumor on his belly that was removed and healed well. Recently he developed a tumor on the roof of his mouth. It is a very rapid progressing type of cancer. He has had laser surgery once. The cancer has spread to his entire mouth within less than 6 weeks. He does not act as if he is in pain and continues to be active; however his mouth bleed often and sometimes excessively. The vet also noticed a lump around his shoulder and informed us that more than likely he has cancer in his lungs. Bassett's are prone to cancer, especially if they are in the sun a lot or have a lot of white color on them. We will soon have to put ours to rest. I hope yours lives along healthy life. Take yours to the vet ASAP.
