No, that's the problem...they didn't remove all of it...so that's why I feel so guilty because I'm making her wait 3 more weeks before we get her toe amputated...and I'm worried. Geez I feel torn...and really selfish...and so guilty...I could go on and on but you get the idea.

Bailey has been limping for about 3 weeks and on Tuesday our vet removed what I thought was a corn. DH was there and our vet told him not to tell me, but he sent it away for a biopsy because he thought it might be a tumour and he knew how much I would worry. Well, he just called and said it was a tumour and we should amputate her toe. I asked how quickly is it spreading because we are going on vacation with the pups from Oct 8 to Oct 27. He said to go and have a good time because he doesn't think it's growing that fast. DH still thinks we should go and I want to go because we really need a vacation. Of course, I feel guilty because I think what if it grows really fast, yada yada. The pathology report did not mention "malignant" and our vet said this guy was really thorough and he would mention if there was a chance of malignancy. I feel so selfish by going though...

I have had plantar warts on the bottom of my feet and it they did have a core. They were quite painful, and needed to be treated several times. The first couple of times was not so bad but the last time I could barely walk out of the office. I think because it had shrunk and neighboring tissue was injured. Are corns and warts the same? I had always thought they were different. I'm not sure...second article refers to them as the same...both articles are similar corns "seed warts" Bailey still has stitches from Tuesday so she's still limping...too bad...I don't think she'll be healed before we go to Dewey.

Bailey's been limping for the past 3 weeks and the vet removed a wart...we did X-rays, anti-inflamatories, etc. I went in on Monday and I was like a mommy bear...my baby hurts and we need to do something. X-rays were clears so he removed the wart...but he said it had quite a long core pressing on something? Do warts have cores? Initially, it was dismissed as nothing so i hope this heals and she feels better. Right now she can't put any weight on it but we go back today for a checkup...third visit this week.

I'm so sorry...it's never long enough

My thoughts exactly

I am so sorry...she was so cute and I'm sure very loved by you.

Carolyn, I'm so sorry to read this...how heartbreaking

What a lovely tribute to a very special boy...thinking of you and Eric today along with the rest of your pups.

Bailey's appears to have stopped limping...and she is ready to run. I'm hoping it was a soft tissue injury and the anti-inflammatories have helped it heal. I've been trying to keep her quiet but my little girlekins really wants to go for a run...for those who know her, you know how much she loves to run and we haven't been to NCR for a couple of weeks...maybe on the weekend if she continues to improve. And yes...I have stopped worrying...both vets viewed her X-rays and both concluded they were clear. Thank you once again for your well wishes...I think limping is every grey's owner's worst nightmare. We just hate to seem them in pain.

Sending lots and lots of healing thoughts for your little girl.

The vet said she did have some arthritis in her elbow but he didn't think it be the cause of her limping. Good news though...no limp today. I am going to start her on glucosomine too.

Thanks Eva...like I said in my post...you're experience with Carrier was the first thing to cross my mind. I'm PM you when I have more time. btw we have different vets. Thanks Eva...I appreciate your thoughts. Jan

I picked Bailey up today...poor thing was so groggy she could hardly stand...one of the few times I have seen her actually sit. And she didn't want anything to eat...what happened to my little hoover Well, good news is the X-rays were clear...bad news is she's still limping. I'm going to try a chiro consult/tx next. I keep thinking what if they missed something like they did on Carrier. Unfortunately, our vet doesn't have electronic x-rays so i can't forward them on. But I'm very relieved she came out of the anaesthesia OK. The vet thinks it's a soft tissue injury of some kind and we're keeping her on the anti-inflammatories for another week. I want her healthy because we'll be away on vacation for almost 3 weeks and we usually do a lot of walking. btw, I was up in the middle of the night and DH asked me what I was doing...I told him i was doing what I do best...worrying. He said OK and went back to sleep Apparently I worry too much...betcha never would have guessed that Thanks for your warm wishes, support and prayers...it really means a lot to me.

Thanks everyone...she's still limping so we'll see what the X-rays show...hopefully, nothing...then we'll try chiropractic care if appropriate. I can't believe how worried I am. I took a few more pics this weekend (had to use the Bailey blind) and hugged her a lot. I'm just not ready to lose her...I know I shouldn't think that way...but I am really worried...gotta go...tears are forming again. I thought I lost these photos but I discovered them recently...here's a picture of her when we adopted her 4 years ago on Sept.11/04. Here's a picture of us on August 16/08...I don't have many photos of her and I... I got this on the weekend...had to use the Bailey blind but it was worth it.

Hi and welcome...another wish for a clear pathology report

Another warm welcome from Canada...your English is excellent...Canadian spelling resembles Britain more than the US so may see the same word spelled differently on this forum.

Bailey went to the vet this morning again because she's been limping and the anti-inflammatories have not been helping. She has to go back on Monday for X-rays...they have to anesthetize her...DH called and now I have a big pit in my stomach...tears are forming...gotta go...be positive...please send positive thoughts that it's nothing and my little scrappy girlekins has just overdone it. Thank you

What a lovely tribute to a very special loving pup. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

She was a beautiful princess...I am so sorry

Tina, I am so sorry

I'm so sorry

Another hello from Waterloo

I'm so sorry...it's always so heartbreaking to hear this...no matter what the age. I'm glad to hear warrior had some really happy days, and brought happiness into the lives of others...if only for a short while. He looks really happy in his pics.
