Me: "The emergency vet didn't charge my husband for the visit but said she'd never seen anything like the bumps on the pup's hind paws in her 14 years as a vet."

Our vet: (confidently) "Well, we'll see if it's something I've seen in my *42* years!"

Our vet: "I've never seen anything like that before! That's very unusual." (Calls in second vet, who has also never seen anything like it.) She was expecting lesions or cysts between the pads, not uncommon in bulldogs, pit bulls, and some other breeds.

Bumps (they look kind of like warts) on both hind paws, and paws are swollen. Front paws are perfectly fine. Why are only the hind paws affected? And *both* hind paws? So tomorrow, they'll anesthetize her and take samples to send to Cornell for biopsy/pathology. Poor pup.
