My 12-year-old miniature pinscher was diagnosed with cancer this week. She has enlarged lymph nodes in her neck, and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. We have an appointment with an oncologist next Thursday. Tonight, the lymph nodes feel slightly swollen. Should I move the appointment up? She is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom fine.

My German Shepherd's stomach has gotten really big, but I can still feel his ribs, and I'm worried about him. He is about 11 years old. Did the enlarged stomach happen quickly within a day or weeks? Is he behaving uncomfortable or restless? Any vomiting, coughing, or diarrhea? Is he drinking more than usual? Any pre-existing medical conditions?

My Labrador had an inflamed nipple removed last week, and the biopsy came back as Mast Cell, grade 2 with clean margins. I understand there is an additional test to determine if the cancer is slow or aggressive. Should I get the 2nd test results back before seeing an Oncologist, or should I see the Oncologist first and then order the 2nd test? Also, how quickly do I need to do this?
