It doesn't sound like 3 toes is slowing her down one little bit!
I'm getting a giggle thinking about people walking on the beach and "discovering" a new type of critter with 3 toes....

Yes, she doesn't even limp. And actually the missing toe wasn't even noticeable unitl she got groomed yesterday. Except for the footprints, of course.

I was petting Pepper last week and noticed a lump on her back. I thought it was just a mat because due to Mom's illness, I haven't had time to brush Pepper or take her to the groomer.

It was a tumor, and it was removed yesterday. Please pray that our darling Pepper will be okay.

did the Vet say what kind of tumor? A lot of dogs like poodles and labs get lumpy as the age. Morgen had loads of lumps that were fat tumors. We left them alone as they are generally benign. Not being nosy, but what did it feel like? Fat tumors are very smooth and somewhat soft and tend to be between the skin and muscle so you can move them around.

I'm hopeful that it's not related to the toe, but if it fits the description above, she should be fine...

Sending thoughts your way...

I am familiar with fatty tumors because all three of the miniature poodles we've had got them when they got old. But Pepper is just 4.

It looked like a full dog tick to me, round and bluish in color. But when I finally got through all of her thick, curly black hair to examine it closer, I didn't see any legs.

The vet lanced it a several days ago and fluid came out. The culture came back positive for a staph infection, so he put her on antibiotics. On Thursday when we took her in for surgery, we had trouble finding it, but finally the vet found it. After the surgery he sent it to UGA for a biopsy. He calls it a tumor, but I am hoping that it is just a cyst. He also sent a blood sample to the local hospital to see what type of staph she has. Coincidentally my husband has a staph infection. We wanted the same lab that did his culture to do Pepper's to see if they have the same type of staph.

Thanks for the suggestions and concern.

cancer information
wondered if you heard of this vet who specializes in treating dogs with cancer?
he has a book and web site devoted to the subject. I am reading both b/c I believe there is a connection between diet,living environs, and stress, We recognize this connection in humans but not always with dogs....anyway...here is the link

So many breeders from whom we considered buying a black standard poodle insisted on the BARF diet. I didn't do that. Maybe it's time to start.

Vet called today. Pepper's biopsy was negative for cancer. Stitches come out on Friday!

Thanks for all of your prayers. I do believe in the power of prayer.

Thanks, y'all. After her toe amputation for melanoma last summer, I wasn't feeling very optimistic. Most dogs die within a year of a diagnosis of toe cancer. Thank God I just happened to Google "split toenail" last year so we caught it early.
