We'll keep praying for poor Dixie, that whatever the case, her poor foot can be treated easily.
My sister-in-law's Bichon just had a toe amputated for a non-cancerous tumor this summer. Little Gabby has recovered wonderfully and doesn't miss the toe at all.
I will be praying for Dixie. I hope all goes well on Friday.
Oh I really am hoping & praying that your Dixie will be OK. Please try and not worry until you find out anything definite (I know that's easier said than done!) Sending warm thoughts your way...
Dixie has been on my mind. I hope the appointment goes well. Please update us as soon as you get a chance!
Hope all goes well with the vet visit & no cancer. Please do keep us updated. We're still praying for sweet Dixie.
Praying for Dixie.
Aw, Geez....Hope DixieDoll's problem isn't C. You all must going nuts waiting for Friday! Digits and paws crossed here with lots of prayers. I totally understand, Candy, Cody NEVER whines, so when he does, I know something hurts. Thinking of you and sending comforting hugs
Still thinking of Dixie.
The swelling is much improved today but I am still taking her in for a biopsy. I just want to be sure! Thanks for your prayers and I will update you all tomorrow on how it goes. I'm sure I won't have results until next week though.
Candy, thanks for the update. I am glad to learn that the swelling has gone down. I hope that the biopsy reults are good. You and your golden girl are in my thoughts!
I just now saw this thread and I'm almost glad I didn't see it before, now I only have to worry for one more day (well, until results come in of course). Would soaking her paw in warm water ease the discomfort at all I wonder:confused: Poor Dusty must be so confused. Best of luck to you all Candy. Sorry this is the reason we are hearing from you....miss you.
Laurie
That's great news Candy!:) We're holding onto cautious optimism until we hear the biopsy results. Hugs to you sweet Dusty and we hope all goes well tomorrow at the white coats! Prayers continue!!
Yes Laurie, we have been soaking her foot on the average of two to three times a day and it does bring relief. Dusty and Dixie have been starting to play again but we are cautious to have her go easy until we get vet approval for rugged play.Quote:

Our visit to the white coats is over but we are still waiting for the results. I will update you when we get the results. The vet is hoping they come in by Tuesday.
Candy:
I haven't posted for a long time because I'm extremely busy with my volunteer work for Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, but I've checked on Dixie's progress every time I had a chance. I hope the news from the vet are good and the sweet girl is on her way to a complete recovery. You are all in my thoughts. Big hug to Dixie and Dusty from Carina and me.
Just checking in to say I hope all is well and the diagnosis is not cancer. We will wait for Tuesday and keep Dixie in our prayers.
Waiting for the results is the hardest part. Good luck and thinking of you!!
We'll be hoping and praying for a happy update. Love to you Candy. I know how worried you must be. Sandra
Just wanted to say that I am thinking of Dixie and hoping that there is some resolution to her problem. Gee, waiting until Tuesday sure takes a long time, doesn't it?
Still praying for Dixie, Candy. Keep us posted as you can.
Logan

Jackie, Miss Daisy and Perry
Just wanted to let you know you are on my mind. Please update us as soon as you find something out!
Can't wait to hear the results of the test tomorrow. Hope they come out good.
Anna
Sending you love and our heartfelt prayers and wishes for a good report tomorrow! Love, Star, Cody and Sandra
Thanks everyone for your prayers! They worked because the test came back benign. NO CANCER!!!! My mind is at ease again. The swelling was due to some foriegn object getting in there and since we can't see it, it will just need to work it's way out. Swelling is almost gone.
Thank you Lord for answered prayer and thank you friends for your support! :D
That's great news Candy!!!
I hope sweet Dixie will continue to recuperate very quickly now that you know what the problem is.
Hugs and kisses to the Golden mom and her handsome boy.
Yipppeee!!! Glad to hear the good news Candy!!! Another answered prayer ! :)
Oh Happie Daze!! :DQuote:

Just a thought~
Has anyone considered using UltraSound to explore Dixie's foot and pads?
If the object is wooden or a thorn - it won't show up on a normal X-ray. Ultrasound might detect where it is...
Plug "splinter" and "Ultrasound" into a search engine ( www.google.com ) and start reading. One I found was:
Article from Israel...
Another ended with:
CONCLUSION: UltraSound can be used effectively to locate wooden foreign bodies as small as 2.5 mm in length. Given that many foreign bodies are radiographically undetectable, the accuracy and availability of UltraSound make it an excellent modality for evaluation of radiolucent foreign bodies."
Yay! So glad to hear this... :)
hope that nasty little foreign object gets outta there soon.
Thanks for the information about ultra sound Phred! Our vet hasn't suggested it and I never gave it a thought but it does sound worth persuing. Excellent idea!
Yay, Dixie! What a relief! She'll be dancing again on all four paws in no time! :) :) :)
GREAT NEWS !!!!
I just now saw that the results came back on Dixie's
paw. You must be so relieved. That's wonderful news.
I agree about maybe using the ultrasound method to
possibly locate the object, whatever it turns out to be.
It's good to know the swelling's down & she feels better.
