Many years ago my first dear yorkie Keyla had a nail growing from the pad. I brought him in and it was a tumor but it was not cancerous. My vet removed it and he was fine after that. They put him under and took it out. Poor baby had a couple stitches. He was sore on his paw a few days but healed very fast. Also I could not touch this thing that is why I had him brought in and had it removed. It never grew back either.Good luck with your baby and I hope all goes well for you. Susan |
