I would think that they could remove it using a local anesthetic with some mild sedation instead of general anesthesia. I wonder why Callie's dew claws weren't removed when her tail was docked. That's what they did to Huey when he was like 2 days old? I was told it was standard practice.
Good luck! She will feel much better once it is gone. If they DO use general anesthesia, are you gonna have them remove the other one, too? I would hate for you and her to have to go through this again.

Haha, Nancy..same post! I just type more slowly!
