Softee saw Dr. O'Leary today who is the senior/lead vet at Wexford Vetinary Hospital. He said she has a tumor on that toe and will remove it tomorrow and it might be a squamous cell carcinoma. He agreed with me that she did not need to have a biopsy and then the second surgery for the amputation and was with me 100% to do it all at one time. We have to have her there between 9 and 9:30 am and no food or water after midnight. Oh, that poor girl as she is a night feeder.

Is the whole toe or just the nail part like what Bear had done to him. If so, it should be fine.
Still sending lots of prayers and good thoughts for tomorrow.

The whole toe - he said something about high so I know it is not the nail.

Just off the phone with the vet's office - she did good and is in recovery we can pick her up at 1:30 pm est. We will have to wait for the biopsy results to come back to see what it was.

We brought Softee home about 2:30 pm and she is not limping as bad as she was before. She is not groggy from the anesthesia, allowed to eat and drink water in moderation so she is now mad at us as we had to pick up the water. She was drinking it like no tomorrow and we were afraind she would throw up but she is fine. He also removed a papiloma (sp?) from the heinie and he said it was deep. He is pretty sure it was not cancer and her half brother Highway had one in the same place and his was not cancer either. Now it is wait and see for the biopsy.

Thats okay Hilda - she has a vet appointment in 2 weeks to get her sutures out and we should know about the biopsy in about 10 days.

Softee is still doing greyt and ate Penske's breakfast this am so Dave had to give him Softee's along with some extra dry food. She did a sit down on the ice this am but is okay. Would not eat bread this am so that we could pill her guess she remembered from the last load of anitibiotics instead we gave her some liver brownies.

She just started doing that maybe his is closer but as long as she eats and he is so easy going its not problem to make him another one

Softee is doing well this am but did not eat breakfast. Still limping but as I said in other posts not as bad as she did before the surgery.
