Had a person who is a vet that I ran into by happenstance tell me that it is a tumor and most likely cancerous growing on the bottom of my dog's foot, right behind his large pad. I'm looking for someone who will remove it without doing all the other blood work and crap. I just want it off. Any recommendations with this updated info?
I don't know of any vet that will actually do any sort of surgery without running bloodwork, especially considering your pup is an older dog. They have to cover their butts, and need to make sure you understand that past a certain age, anesthesia is riskier for a pet.

I'll waive anything if I have to. I'm sorry for the dog lovers out there, but it's actually just a dog to me. I don't want him to suffer, but I'm not about to put my family in further debt because of an animal.

as I pointed out I'm looking to get this growth removed and I'm not looking for the animal to suffer. My dogs live better than a great part of the population. That being said I'm not, nor will I ever, treat my dog as if he is anything other than an animal. Prices for vets in this state have sky rocketed because people treat their animals like people and those that sell those services have taken advantage of that. Taking care of a dog will not be something I max out a credit card for which I see so many people do. Your idea of taking care of an animal is clearly different than mine. Don't accuse me of not taking care of animal just because it isn't to your standards.
not cool. He's clearly looking to help his dog, or he wouldn't have posted this. Do you think his pup would be better off in a 4x6 kennel at a pound, waiting to be euthanized? I don't want to derail the thread, and I imagine your heart is in the right place, but... jeez, man!
