I was also wondering if it is alright to take hydroxycut if you have a slight heart murmur.

Open Question: my dog may have cancer?
I have a 6 year old lab (he will be 7 in may) and he used to weigh 105 pounds. They told us he was obese and so we put him on low calorie dog food. He went down to about 95 but over the last few months I’ve noticed he’s been dropping weight left and right and he only eats half as much as he used, some days he wont even eat. I’ve found a few lumps on his ribs and stomach area. We took him in and found out he weighs only 79 pounds but the lumps are just fat deposits. Our vet told us just to put him back on regular dog food instead of his usual low calorie. He still wasn’t eating as much and now he lays around alot (hes always been REALLY lazy tho). Well we took him back to the vet about a week ago and they took blood. When the results came back his liver and kidney enzymes were the highest my vet had ever seen (they should be around 60, his were 475). Our vet suspected cancer and had my dog at the clinic the whole day for x-rays so he could look for tumors. He didn’t find any tumors but his liver and spleen were enlarged. My vet told me that he definitly suspects it is cancer and theres nothing we can do, just make my dog comfortable and spoil him until it “comes time”. Could this be cancer or any other disease? Is there a way I can find out how long he’ll live or atleast an estimate? Is he too young to get cancer?
The saddest part about this is we just lost our other dog a month ago from heart failure, her body pretty much shut down (from old age) and this dog, i bought with my own money when i was 11 and hes my baby, he shouldnt be diagnosed with cancer just a month after losing the dog i grew up with.
please help?
