The vet will remove the tumor & the toe to ensure that all cancer is removed. He says she will not even notice her toe is missing after she heals. Also says that if we do not do the surgery now, we will more than likely have to remove her whole leg due to the quick spreading of this type of cancer. Please look up dog "toe tumors".

FWIW
Our dog (I am the OP) did not have that lump return and since it is almost 9+ yrs later, I guess ours was not toe cancer
I hope your dog was cured by the surgery and is still around
