Yukon *GREAT NEWS!!!!!*

[pitc9]

My sister called me last week because Yukon was limping and she noticed her foot was bleeding. She could see a little split in one of her pads so I told her to keep an eye on it, and keep it dry and clean when she goes outside.
Well, it's not getting better so my brother in law took her to the vet this morning and she has a growth between 2 of her pads. She will have it removed on Monday and they will send a sample for testing to see if it's cancer.

Please say a prayer for Yukon, she's 10 years old.

Here's Yukon with my niece Julia a few years back. I LOVE this picture!

I love that picture too. Perfect trust. :) I hope it's just a skin tag & can be cleared up soon. Feel better Yukon.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm sorry. I hope the growth will be benign. They will be in my thoughts.

[K9soul]

I remember Yukon and that picture. She will certainly be in my prayers. She's a beautiful girl.

After talking to my sister last night I've learned that it's not inbetween her toes, it's actually INSIDE one of her pads and it has grown so big that it's ripping the pad open from the inside. :(

[wolf_Q]

Poor Yukon! :( I'll be thinking of her, I hope everything will be ok. She's a gorgeous dog, I would have never guessed she's 10.

[dukedogsmom]

Very sorry to hear that. I'll be waiting to hear what the vet says. I hope it's not bad news. Poor Yukon :( I hope he's better soon.

[cyber-sibes]

We're saying lots of prayers and sending pawsitive thoughts for Yukon. I hope they can keep her comfortable till the surgery on Monday. She's so pretty, I would never have guessed she was 10 either. And these are great pictures. The one in the doorway is really endearing. :)

We had Thanksgiving at my sister's house last night (Kim). Yukon is taking pills for the pain and wasn't limping much last night.
She's sooo thin!! :eek:
If she didn't have all that husky fur you'd be able to see every bone! :(
I hope her weight loss is just because she's getting older.

My other sister (Barb) had her partner looked at Yukon's foot last night (she was a vet tech) and in her opinion it looks like maybe at one point she had injured her pad and sliced a portion of it almost off. No one knew about it, so it healed on it's own and has more or less created another pad between her pads.

My sister just called, her husband called the vet and Yukon is out of surgery and he'll find out what they know about the lump/mass when he picks her up at 4:00 today. Ugh... more waiting... :(

Prayers still needed please.
2 1/2 hours before I'll know anything else.
:(

[cyber-sibes]

OK, more prayers for Yukon! We'll check back.

Angie I'll be saying a prayer that it's nothing serious.

Yukon is home and is resting comfortably.

The Dr. felt it was necessary to send the mass out for testing. Meaning it appears not to be a pad injury. The Dr. said the mass was deeper than he thought it was going to be. (don't know quite what that means)
They should have results by Wednesday, if it turns out to be cancer they can amputate her toe, they would not have to amputate her entire foot.

So... Yukon could still use some PT prayers.

Yukon, my sister and her family and I thank you all for the moral support!

More prayers for Yukon, hoping it's not cancer.

[Catlady711]

I hope it's just granulated tissue from an old injury or something and not cancer.

[kallisto4529]

Sending prayers to Yukon and your whole family. I was sitting here reading this and thinking to myself how amazing it is that when you have a furkid they really are very much like a regular kid, the whole family gets attached to them and thinks of them as such. I really hope everything works out for the best.

[shais_mom]

I'm sorry I came to this late -
I hope she's feeling better and will keep her in my thoughts and prayers...

[anna_66]

I'm glad to hear she's home and resting comfortably.

I'll be saying a prayer for her.

[lizbud]

Prayers & good thoughts for Yukon. I'm hoping her tests come back as
noncancerous & she can heal the foot damage.

[dukedogsmom]

I sincerely hope it's nothing serious. I know they must be worried. Give Yukon some PT hugs for us.

[pitc9]

It's noon on Wednesday and I've not heard from my sister with results yet. I'll update you all asap.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

No news.

My sister took Yukon to the vet for a bandage change today but the lab results didn't come in. She has to call tomorrow. :(

[K9soul]

I know how hard the "waiting game" is. I hope there will be some good news soon. Yukon remains in my thoughts and prayers.

[Ginger's Mom]

Prayers and positive thoughts going out for Yukon.

[pitc9]

In the words of the vet:

"It was a giant wart."

YIPPEE!!

Thank you, THANK YOU all for your thoughts and prayers!!!!!!

The power of PT prayers pulls through yet again!!

"It was a giant wart."

Yukon, keep away from those frogs; unless you wanna kiss it and have it turn into a PRINCE!

So glad to read this great news!

[chocolatepuppy]

Yeah! Great news for Yukon! :D

[lizbud]

Great news for Yukon. :) That's wonderful to hear. :)

[cyber-sibes]

Great news! That must have been some humungus wart, to split open her paw pad & all. :eek:
Heal quickly, Yukon!

[pitc9]

Great news! That must have been some humungus wart, to split open her paw pad & all. :eek:
Heal quickly, Yukon!

It turned out NOT to be inside her pad.
It was between 2 pads, the vet said the wart was so big that he couldn't get all of it and was almost to the bone!! :eek:
