Just some extra info about the dog: She is a 9-year-old female, spayed, pure bred labrador. Allergic to majority of dog foods, so the vet put her on a bland human diet of chicken, rice, carrots, celery, etc. with some olive oil and salmon oil. We also give her vitamins (for dogs) daily. She has been on this diet for 4 years now and it has helped her food and environmental allergies alot!

Well I don't know if it causes it but dogs with colitis are at a higher risk for developing colon cancer.
2 :
well in people, About 5 percent of people with ulcerative colitis develop colon cancer. So I'm guessing it is close to that number in dogs. So it's a very low chance

the symptoms of Colitis are almost similar to the symptoms of colon Cancer in dogs . Colitis may be acute, episodic or chronic and the signs often last for two to three weeks. The type of predominant cells present in the inflamed colon is used to describe the specific disorders. Acute conditions normally do not present any signs of systemic illness but in chronic cases the dog may experience a significant weight loss. General symptoms of colon Cancer that are similar to those of Colitis include: * A combination of bright red colored blood in stool * Mucus in stool * Defecation with extra effort * Increased frequency of defecation, sometimes many time in a day * Occasional Vomiting even in healthy dogs. Sorry but I don't know if it can cause cancer, but it is a symptom of colon cancer.
