If herpesvirus is suspected or has been confirmed by a veterinarian, the dog should be spayed or neutered to keep from possibly infecting other dogs.

As with other venereal disease, venereal granulomas can be passed on to puppies from an infected mother.

Statistically speaking, nearly half of the mammary tumors seen by veterinarians are benign. These benign tumors are usually small, firm lumps near the breast s nipple. They can start out feeling like a BB under the skin and rapidly grow into a rapidly growing mass. Malignant tumors are actually in the breast tissue itself. These tend to spread rapidly from the breasts, into the lymph system as well as the lungs.
