On the story of my favorite dog Penny.
She had a growth on her back foot above the paw thatwas growing bigger and bigger,so I decided to have it taken off with surgery.
Now it seems that she chews on it all the time and won't let it heal.
Besides that problem,I have noticed she has more growths on her back and belly which she is digging and biting at.
Penny is 13 years old and I am afraid she has a bad case of cancer.
