Worried Dachshund owner here
Hello everyone, I have a beautiful 13 year old female dachshund whom I've had since she was born. I can't remember exactly when it happened but she had a tumor pop up on her chest and another tumor popped up on her stomach. I do know though they popped up and were diagnosed as fatty tumors about over four years ago. She still has both and the one on her chest is obviously a fatty tumor, it is extremely soft and clearly not connected to any part of her body. The one on her stomach though is a little firmer (still soft though) and it feels connected to her stomach muscles. It is still decently movable though. I do not remember if it was connected when it was diagnosed but it has not changed size nor has it changed firmness since it was diagnosed as a fatty tumor. Maybe I'm just being a worry wart but I'm worried it's something more serious, although I don't have much reason to think that way. She shows no sign of pain when it is touched or moved, she has not lost her appetite, she is still has active and hyper as shes always been, and it is not seeming to affect her in any way at all. Also, she went to the vet back in June for her yearly check up and the vet said she was perfectly healthy, she had excellent weight, and he said nothing at all about her fatty tumors.
I really care for my dog and would hope someone would give me an opinion on what they believe it is. It would crush me if she were to pass away.
I don't believe it's anything to be too worried about but there is always a bit of doubt in my head.
So guys if you could please help me out and give me your opinions on this. Thanks a lot
