I'm surprised your vet even mentioned amputating your dog's leg, considering a lipoma is benign and generally painless. I'd go for a second opinion if I were in your shoes.

However, the idea that anesthesia is taxing on a senior dog can be true. It highly depends on the health of the senior dog and whether or not they have any cardiac issues.
