Our Sweet Dal has Skin Cancer

Suzie is a rescue dalmation that we saved last year. When we got her, we noticed a small lesion on her stomach which turned out to be cancerous. We had our vet remove it via surgery and thought that it was all gone; however, she has a new lesion about the size of a dime on the other side now. We have scheduled another surgery at our vet for next week.

Has anyone out there experienced a similar problem with their dal? We are saddened, as expected, and worry whether we're doing the right thing or not. Any suggestions?

I am attaching a picture. We look forward to any responses!

Sorry about your Pit puppy! Some breeders sell them to young. This is unfortunate for the pup & the owner....
Try feeding the pup Soy milk products it may help.
