Let me know how your pouch is doing.....my 13 yo lab has all sorts of growths on him, I call them old man bumps, the vet and I are not too worried......

I hope your pound pooch is ok

Thanks for your post.

She came out of surgery just fine yesterday, but she's not a fan of having her paw wrapped up.. The doc said the growth came out much easier and cleaner than expected, but we'll be sweating out the biopsy for a few days. I'm hoping we noticed this and got it taken care of before it had a chance to metastisize.

I'd never heard of them before, but malignant nailbed tumors are fast, nasty, and fairly common in older black dogs.

I know the drill on lumps and bumps on old dogs pretty well. The 12 year old has a few others, but our 14 year old beagle is starting to look like a bag of marbles. So far they've been benign.
