Chriss and Mitsey Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi... I need some help / advise... i noticed my little girl limping last week, couldnt find anything... by the weekend she was still limping, and i decided i was going to wait another day or so then take her for xrays if it didnt get better... i looked again and found a wart like think on her toe (inside part of the toe just where the hard pad meets the softer pad) i took her to the vet last night they said it was a cutaneous horn... i cant find very much info online about it - they say its benign and kind of common in dogs... but im really scared because its getting bigger faster... her surgery to have it off is on Monday coming up... can anyone please tell me if you've had or seen anything like this with you dogs? any info? im scared. ~ Chriss and Mitsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Gyp had a spot show up on the outside of his toe. Found it because it was bleeding and the red really showed up on the white fur. Thought at first he had torn a nail. We were running in flyball and Gyp rubbed it on either my shoes or the box to make it bleed. Vet checked it. Don't remember what she called it. Removed it. Said it was nothing to worry about. Had to keep the stitches in a little longer than normal due to walking on it. It has been over a year and all is well. Gyp will be eleven in Feb.

Gil Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Don't remember what she called it. I know we sent it off for checking and everything was OK. Will dig and see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
