\"660_Jennie\"<\/a>It’s Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and pets diagnosed with the disease have a fighting chance thanks to advancements in veterinary care and new cancer treatments, according to veterinary oncologist Gerald Post. Dr. Post provides a list of signs that may indicate cancer, including swollen lymph nodes, bleeding with no clear cause and lameness. “Just like in people, the earlier you find certain cancers, the more likely we are able to cure them,” said Dr. Post.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>FoxNews.com<\/a> (5\/1)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2011, Peggy Graney took her Chihuahua, Jennie, to Petco for her usual grooming appointment.<\/p>\n

It was Jennie\u2019s long-time groomer who found a lump on Jennie\u2019s leg and suggested Graney take Jennie to the veterinarian for a consult.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, the lump was cancerous, and Jennie was referred to a veterinary surgeon who could remove the tumor. The surgeon told Graney he couldn\u2019t promise her that Jennie wouldn\u2019t lose her leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was devastated,\u201d Graney, who is retired and lives in Glendale, Ariz., told FoxNews.com. \u201cThat\u2019s my little girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graney, 78, described Jennie as an \u201calpha female who tells me what she wants, and she always wants something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graney discussed the situation with her two daughters and son; her daughters encouraged her to go ahead with the surgery, while her son told her not to let the surgeon take Jennie\u2019s leg.<\/p>\n

Torn, Graney didn\u2019t know what to do \u2013 but when she looked into Jennie\u2019s eyes, she knew it was better to have her dog alive with three legs than not to have her dog at all.<\/p>\n

The surgeon allowed Graney, her daughter and granddaughter to watch the procedure online, and when he lifted the sheet off of Jennie, revealing all four legs at the end of the operation, Graney said she \u201cthanked God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a beautiful feeling when I saw all four legs on that little one,\u201d Graney said. \u201cIt was so marvelous to have her safe, alive and the bonus \u2013 all four legs. And since then, I\u2019ve called her my little miracle girl, my little fighter. She\u2019s just so precious to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month, and the most important message one veterinarian oncologist wants the public to know is that cancer in animals is no longer a death sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like in people, the earlier you find certain cancers, the more likely we are able to cure them,\u201d Dr. Gerald Post, a board-certified veterinary oncologist and owner of The Veterinary Cancer Center in Norwalk, Conn., told FoxNews.com. \u201cThe treatments we give nowadays, like radiation, chemo or targeted chemotherapy, are generally well-tolerated by pets. We\u2019ve gotten much better at determining what\u2019s the best dose, what\u2019s the best interval \u2013 and there are many new drugs on the market that mitigate the side effects of chemo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Post said about one in four dogs will get cancer in its lifetime and about one in five cats will get cancer, which equates to approximately 4 to 8 million new cases of cancer in dogs each year.<\/p>\n

There are certain \u00a0breeds that are more susceptible than others, Post said, but \u201cnow that we have a dog genome sequence, we can take a look at what breeds are more prone.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a pet parent, there are signs you can lookout for when it comes to detecting cancer, Post said.<\/p>\n

They include, but are not limited to:
\n\u2022 Swollen lymph nodes:<\/i> Located throughout the body, they are easily located behind the jaw or the knee.
\n\u2022 An enlarging or changing lump: <\/i>\u00a0Any lump on a pet that is rapidly changing or growing should be biopsied.
\n\u2022 Abdominal distension:<\/i> If the belly becomes quickly enlarged, this could suggest a tumor. A quick ultrasound can detect the problem.
\n\u2022 Unexplained bleeding:<\/i> Bleeding that is not due to trauma should definitely be examined.
\n\u2022 Lameness:<\/i> Unexplained lameness, especially in large dogs, is a common sign of bone cancer, and a radiograph can determine if there\u2019s something wrong.
\n\u2022 Straining to urinate:<\/i> Straining to urinate or blood in the urine can indicate a urinary tract infection, but if it\u2019s not controlled with antibiotics, a biopsy of the bladder may be needed.<\/p>\n

Groomers can help in checking for cancer, too. According to Wendy Weinand, a master pet stylist and master groomer for Petco in San Antonio, Texas, it is very common for Petco groomers to thoroughly check each pet who comes to their salon and make sure the pet doesn\u2019t have any abnormalities.<\/p>\n

The company has a seven-point checklist, which is used on the pet upon arrival. The answers to the checklist are recorded, so when pets come back, they can be evaluated and compared to previous visits. And if something is amiss, pet parents can take their dog or cat to be checked out at the veterinarian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a unique program, which engages the pet parent and the pet in finding the best solution for the pets when it comes to the parent\u2019s lifestyle,\u201d Wendy Weinand, a master pet stylist and certified master groomer for Petco, told FoxNews.com.<\/p>\n

The seven points include:
\n\u2022 Eyes:<\/i> Are the whites of the eyes white; are they sagging; do they look healthy; is there goop in them?
\n\u2022 Teeth:<\/i> Are the gums nice and pink? Do they have plaque or tarter?
\n\u2022 Ears: <\/i>Do they look normal for the breed; are they red or swollen; do they contain a funky odor; are they compacted with hair; is the ear housing anything that shouldn\u2019t be there?
\n\u2022 Nose:<\/i> Is the nose dry, cracked or brittle looking?
\n\u2022 Skin\/coat:<\/i> Does the fur look shiny and healthy, or is it dull; is the skin healthy or oily? Based on the animal\u2019s age, are there cuts or abrasions; have they been scratching or itching; are there any abnormal lumps or are they aging spots?
\n\u2022 Underside:<\/i> Does the belly look and feel good? Are there any lumps, bumps?
\n\u2022 Paws:<\/i> Are the nails cracked, dry or brittle? Are the pads moist, red or swollen?<\/p>\n
