I took Toby in to the vet to see about the "thingy" on his paw.  It turned out to be a cutaneous horn, as someone had suggested.  It had a lot of other names too, but mostly it meant that he had a corn on his paw pad growing out the side.  The vet trimmed it, then it split down the middle and started bleeding.  Great.  Now it has a bandage on it.  The problem is that a) it is rough and could catch on things, and b) it will just keep growing unless it's removed.  So Toby is going back in tomorrow to have it removed surgically.  It's a short surgery - 20 minutes, and he'll only be there half a day, but still.....you know how I feel.  Poor baby.  I hope  my pet insurance covers it.  I was going to wait and see, but since it has to be taken care of anyway, it really doesn't matter.  Also, if it is left there is an outside chance it could turn cancerous, so let's get rid of that chance.

I think it's a good decision, good luck.
I hope everything goes well tomorrow.  Feel better soon, Toby.
Sandy, not what you'd want...for sure...  But it sounds like it will be over and behind Toby quickly.  Hope your fella makes a swift recovery and the insurance covers it!  :)
Oh, poor guy.  I hope everything goes well and please let us know.
We have our paws crossed that all goes well and Toby is back to normal soon!!!
We'll be thinking of you all ...... let us know when it is over that all is well!  Hugs to Toby!
Good luck!  I'm sure all with go well.  I would think pet insurance would cover it.  It is things like this that we get it for!  Let us know how the surgery went.
You will feel much better after the whole thing is taken care of.  Hoping for a quick healing period for Toby!

good luck toby feel better

 

Thinking of Toby...
Poor Toby!  If it will keep growing it's probably a good thing to have it removed.  Hope Toby recovery time is short.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Toby!
