Is the vet hopeful or totally lost?

I don't think he honestly knows...

Me, my husband and him aren't comfortable with it being there. The Vet said he *thinks* it may just be a polynomia (something to that effect) - but he wouldn't want to take the chance as it could be a mass cell tumor as well

...part of me never wants Friday to come, but the other part can't wait for the results

He is having the entire growth removed at 8 am on Friday 2/20 and it will be sent for pathology

I am terrified

Oh gosh, Nicole

. I would be scared too. My thoughts will be with you and TJ for a positive outcome.

oh I'm sorry to hear this. Have you thought about looking for a 2nd opinion?

I am very sorry about TJ's paw... Is he in pain ? I hope he will be ok , and I'd be very scared to if it were my Suzi. I will pray for TJ and keep him in my thoughts.

No not yet...It is a growth and we are not comfortable leaving it there, so I would rather it come off. I just hope the pathology comes back good

Thanks...

I do not think he is in pain. He lets me touch it and wrap it in gauze, he would lick it out of bordum though...

Its best that it comes off as soon as possible. Hopefully its nothing. Make sure he goes for clean margins. The toe may need to come off to achieve this but its better to do whatever it takes to get that mass off cleanly.

good luck Nicole and TJ!

Just wanted you to know I've been thinking about you and TJ...hope for the best possible outcome. I understand your fear, I too am scared for you. The sooner this is taken care of the better it will be. Praying hard for TJ...please be and stay well.

Thx Kellie - I will make sure that I talk to the Vet that morning and make sure that he will be going for clean margins. He never mentioned removing any toes, but now that you said it, I suppose that could be a possibility...

I just want this to be over with and have my TJ back
