My very healthy 13-yr old bitch was never spayed and now has a small egg size 
growth in one of her breasts, and a jelly bean size in another.  The large one 
is not noticeably growing, but the vet and I are afraid of it rupturing one 
day.  Therefore we both agree that it should be removed.  We x-rayed her chest 
to see if she had anything in her lungs.  They're clear!!  My question to this 
body of knowledge is, should I spay her at the same time she has the lumpectomy 
(sp)?  Remember, she's 13-yrs old, but doing great.  
Sincerely,
Laura Havis
