cancer?

Hi sorry I couldn’t work out how to type and post photos. I have a 15 month old a dwarf and for the last 3/4 months these growths have been getting a lot worse. One eye now completely covered and very bad paw. My questions, can anything be done? I suspect not. Is it worth involving a vet and/or having put down? I would hate to think of her in pain. It hasn’t obviously affected her activity, but recently she is struggling to walk on the paw and is getting slower. Thank you for any thoughts/advice.

Hello. Yes it is important she sees a vet to diagnose, and determine the best course of action, and whether ongoing pain relief is needed. I'm sorry the growths don't look pleasant for her, and it's very likely they are causing pain. It's good she seems well in herself, apart from her mobility. They could be benign growths, but may need surgery, and the vet could assess whether she is suitable for surgery, or for ongoing care with adjustments and pain relief or other options.
