Thanks for reaching out with your question. I completely understand how concerning it can be to hear the word "sarcoma." Sarcomas are a type of cancer that arise from connective tissues, such as bones, muscles, or fat. Without a biopsy, it can be challenging to determine the specific type or behavior of the sarcoma, but I can guide you on what to generally expect.
Sarcomas typically present as lumps or bumps and might not cause any immediate discomfort to your pet, depending on the location. It's important to monitor any change in size, shape, or color, as well as any effects on your pet's mobility or appetite.
While awaiting further diagnosis or treatment, ensure your pet's comfort. Offer a cozy environment and keep an eye out for signs of pain, such as limping or reluctance to move. If the lump is in an area that gets bumped often, consider using padding to protect it.
Watch for signs of a serious issue such as rapid growth of the lump, any discharge or ulceration, significant weight loss, or changes in behavior, as these might require more immediate attention.
I recommend scheduling a video consultation with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to discuss the best steps forward, including diagnostics that might be necessary to get more detailed information. We're here to support you and your pet through this!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
