What is this between her toes?

**lyngr** · 06-07-2007, 07:41 PM

I'm guessing boil or pimple. It looks so painful and she's been licking at it. It's in a precarious spot so I'm wondering how it will ever heal... I can't imagine running around is helping.

Yuck!

I have to say it looks very sore indeed,the one word for you i have to say is "VETS" get it checked up a.s.a.p.

Go to the vet - make them biopsy it. Isabelle's cancer started out as an ouchie on he toe. Her's looked like an ulcerated leison - started with a broken toenail. Anyway - Petsmart has those elizabethian collars you can get - that will help with the licking. Keep us posted.

Oh my.......it does look like it hurts. Maybe a bee sting or bug bite of some kind??

I would get it checked too.......maybe the doc will get her some sort of creme or antihystamine............ something to help it heal quickly, poor baby.

EDIT: I was posting at the same time you were Jenny............cancer IS scary stuff! Hopefully it will be nothing serious.

OMG, that's all we need. I will make an appt. tomorrow morning. Thanks.

How old was Isabelle when that happened? What did you do?

Ouch! That looks like it really must hurt. Good for you for making an appt so quickly. Better to be safe than sorry. Please let us know what the vet says.

OMG, I was thinking the same thing and didnt want to say it and freak you out, because I could be totally off. I saw a boxer at our vet with this huge mass between her toes and the lady said it started out really small and grew really quickly. I think the Boxer was 2 or 3.

Like I said, I hope that I am TOTALLY off, and I really am NOT trying to freak you out, but I think you should make a vet appt ASAP.

It could be a lot of things, so don't panic. Let us know what the vet says.

The vet will be getting a phone call first thing tomorrow. My stomach is in a knot right now, honestly.

Fingers crossed for us, ok?

I wouldn't get too worked up about it, it could just as easily be something simple. Best off to let the vet decide... in the mean time have some tea and relax. Take Care.
