Myopathy is a muscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness. Myopathy simply means muscle disease (myo- Greek Î¼ÏÎ¿ muscle + pathos -pathy Greek suffering).
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a type of tumor known as a teratoma that develops at the base of the coccyx (tailbone) and is thought to be derived from the primitive streak.
Dogs with fatty tumors (lipomas) have a soft, non-painful swelling in the skin that slowly increases in size. The skin over the fatty tumor remains healthy and covered with hair unless the skin rubs against another part of your dog's body and is damaged by friction.ll these signs help differentiate a fatty tumor from a malignant skin tumor. Fatty tumors usually develop in the skin over the trunk of a dog's body or legs; they rarely develop on the head, feet, tail, scrotum, or in the perineal area under the tail.
