16. What to do When you Find a Lump, Bump or Tumor with Dr. PJ Broadfoot
Lumps, bumps, and tumors are often a normal part of aging for dogs, so it can be difficult to know when one is serious. In this episode, Dr. PJ Broadfoot shares her perspective on the variety of holistic remedies that can help dogs experience pain relief, longer life, and often better health outcomes than conventional treatments. She also shares some common signs that indicate a tumor might need to be removed, and she reminds pet parents that there’s always a choice to make when your dog is dealing with a health issue.
