Hello,
My baby Emma has me worried, and we are going to see the vet on Tuesday. Until then, I wanted to see if any of you have ever seen something similar to this.
Emma is 20 month female, we've had her since she was 9 weeks. As you'll see, one of her toes appears that it was stepped on or somehow injured prior to us getting her, and that toe is sort of up and retracted from the others (does not meet the ground when her paw is flat).
Probably unrelated, but on that same paw she has now developed a "growth" in between two of her other toes, and as strange as this sounds, it almost appears like she is growing an extra toe. There is what appears to be fleshy growth which seems to have some matted, moist hair growing out of it. Directly below that, there is what actually appears to be a small black nail growing (which is why I am calling it an extra toe, although I doubt that's what it is).
I am concerned that it may be a tumor, but of course I have NO idea... I am wondering if the vet is going to want to remove it... the base of the fleshy part actually quite wide and well attached, it *does not* have the appearance of what I would call a "skin tag" if we were talking about a human.
So, has anyone of you ever seen anything like this? Any ideas?
Thanks!
