So Braveheart has had one swollen paw for a little while now. It never seemed to bother her. She jumps, runs - no issues.
I tried colloidal silver and soaking her paw in apple cider and water. It seemed to help a bit but never completely and it always came back.
I made an appointment a few weeks back for it and she saw the vet today to have it checked out.
She's now in surgery to have a piece removed and tested. The results should be back in about a week.
Could be an allergy, could be Eosinophilic granuloma (with no FIV as she's clean) or it could be Cancer.
Needless to say I was in tears on the way home. I've had to leave her there for the surgery. I go pick her up tonight.
Please send good vibes her way. I'll let you all know what happens.
Edit to add: The vet said I did the right thing by trying a few things first and that was good and warranted. She also remarked how surprised she was that BH was able to walk without any issues as she shouldn't have been able to.
She'll have stitches in her foot tonight and a cone - good luck to us with that.
