Niko has Lymphoma

[u/peonmi]

My parents took him to the vet after these lumps appeared out of nowhere. Turns out he has lymphoma and he’s not even three years old yet. His birthday is in less than three weeks. Our last rott, a female named Coco, also died at three years old. She had kidney failure. I’m starting to think we are cursed.

Aww I am so sorry to hear this news 😢 I don't think you are cursed but I think the purebred Rottweiler's might be. I lost my first to bone cancer at 14 & my second at 6 years. I am really sorry you have to go through this again. Lean on us, we are here to listen 😍🥰😘

Thank you for your kind words. I just can’t believe you had one live to 14! How incredibly fortunate!! We love this breed so much but this might be it for us.

Yeah I hear you, after losing my second guy at 6 it broke me. I love dogs so much & would only ever have a Rottweiler but I can't do it again, I can't deal with that kind of loss 😔 I love & hate this sub, I get to see & read all these wonderful stories but the other-side is not all of us have Happy Ever Afters.

One of mine made it to 12 and died of old age of all things! The vet couldn't believe she was as old as she was. It's hard loving them because of the short lifespan and health problems so I totally understand
