Symptoms:
For about 4 months Buster had a swollen toe. As the swelling progressed to a mass that became so large the skin ulcerated and the mass would not stop bleeding. They went to their vet multiple times.
Diagnosis:
The diagnosis was presumed to be cancer. The only way to diagnose this definitively is with a biopsy. The best way to get a biopsy is with surgery. We spoke about the costs and risks and after a blood work profile and x-rays it was decided to just remove the toe. It is the best way to stop the incessant bleeding, excision is expected to be curative.
Treatment:
Toe amputation was elected.
