Will she be okay?

Rating: 7

We just recently got a dog from a shelter and she is a one year old Chihuahua terrier mix. Since I brought her home she has had pneumonia, kennel cough, urinary tract infection and four weeks ago above her eye became inflamed...than the next morning she had a huge lump on the side of her head that was hard! Brought her to the vet and they did the antibiotics, benadryl and steroid shot....brought her home...it got worse...brought her back, they changed antibiotics...thought it was from a bunch of bee stings.
Than last week she ended up getting a bunch of lumps everywhere! We brought her in again and they said we would have to bring her to a specialist, so we did and they cut two lumps out and are having them biopsies. My question is.....how likely is it that a one year old would have cancer; do you think it is a fungus or something else, what is your thought on this? Sincerely Karen

    it sounds morelike an allergic reaction to something in your house - cleaning products, air fresheners etc. advise allergy testing to find out what and treat as necessary. antihistamines for now until results. cancer is not impossible but unllikely given the widespread lumps. cancers are usually more localised
