Guest i_heart_greys Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It's not hurting her, I just noticed it. It looks like a corn or a wart? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytexplorer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 check this linky from a previous thread: http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php?showto...845&hl=corn I don't think it's a corn, tho. Read thru the link above, there are pics of a corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomDoggy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) That's a back foot, right? No stopper pad there. Corns are typically found on the thick hairless toepad or footpad area, not up on the furry skin. I don't know what that is, but I'd have it looked at by a vet.

Guest 2Brindles Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It looks like the benign tumor we removed from Ronan back in December. At first, we thought it was an injured paw pad, but he did not have a paw pad in that location on his other paws and we could not get it to stop bleeding. When DH took him to the vet, he was told that it was a benign tumor and we had it removed. Then we had a fun two weeks getting him not to bother it.

Guest greyttech Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Kinda looks like a histiocytoma to me, which are benign and generally go away within a few months on their own. I would have the vet take a look just make sure its nothing bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest houndlover Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I agree with the others. It does not look like a corn or wart though b/c it isn't in the spot that you would normally find those. Doesn't hurt to have it looked at by the vet.

inugrey Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Kinda looks like a histiocytoma to me, which are benign and generally go away within a few months on their own. I would have the vet take a look just make sure its nothing bad. Yep, reminds me of something that showed up recently on a former foster. It started to get worse rather than better so they had it surgically removed. I would definitely go see a vet about this, just to confirm.

tbhounds Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 No--not a corn, it appears to be some kind of a mass. I would take her to the vet and have the Dr do a fine needle aspirate to determine what kind of tumor it is. Could be a number of things some good and some not-so-good. Basically IMHO any lump should be checked especially when you find them on the extremities. Hoping for something benign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greys4Us Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hystiocytoma is my guess. Animex ointment every day and it might shrink. Usually they do go away, but you might want to have a vet make the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
