    he is definetly getting old but hese still got plenty of energy for shorter periods of time! they kinda feel like there filled with fluid like just behind his armpitt and one behind and on top ove his shoulder wondering if any one knows if it could be a glandular thing, i am going to get him to the vet, i just have to arrange the ride before the appointment. just wondering if anybody has been through this and what to expect? hes my bud!!! please reply! peace! p,s. he has the ones under the armpitts on both sides thats why i think it might be glandular.

    Well, a lot of the time, tumors don't feel like they're filled with fluid - they're more of a hard lump.

    I was going to say "I doubt it's glandular" because of the one on his shoulder, but if that's it, and the two under his armpits... the thing on his shoulder going be an abcess/infection and the two under his armpits could be glandular swelling, trying to help heal any infection he could have.

    Good luck at the vet! Do you know what you're going to do about it yet, if it is tumors?

    A lot of dogs get these lumps when the get older. My dog has a ton, and i also intern at a vet, and we see them all the time. If they and liquidesque, they are most likly not canceours. What you can do is have your vet test them. Its very easy to do.
