I don’t know. My peep wanted the specialist to look at my X-rays (see last post). Today we got the results. They’re confusing (that’s why they’re called experts and experts can never be wrong). It appears that if the antibiotics I’m on don’t work, it’s a toe amputation, probably a week from Monday. I’m just so excited-NOT.
At least if it happens because it doesn’t get better, it will be delayed a week (OK, a wheek for you guinea pigs). Â If it is the big C, hopefully it will be caught before spreading.

You need to see Dr. Soderstrom at Sonoran Vet Specialists on 40th St. & Cactus. He’s an orthopedic surgeon with a cytology background.
Me personally: Not good experiences with Sonoran, but I saw Dr. Harris – NOT recommended.
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Soderstrom, and I also happen to know his best friend. If you want to get in to see him but are having trouble getting an appointment, I can see if some strings can be pulled.
Dr Cohen of Anthem Pet Medical Center has pulled me through Addision’s and pancreatitis. I wouldn’t be here without him. I’ll stick with his judgment. Thanks for thinking about me, but I think I’ve got good care and Dr Cohen gets second opinions with specialists without asking.
Oh yeah, I had a bad experience with “Wally the Wanker” in New River.
Ick. So, is it still sensitive? I can’t imagine you having to wait a week. I do like guinea peeg talking…wheek! I bet the doc told your peep lots of crunchy treats and to treat you like royalty. Thanks for the update!

Well, I’ll wait a week to see if it is really necessary and the amputation must go on.
Ugh, I hope this all sorts itself out. The thought of a toe amputation is not pleasant. Will you still be able to walk ok? I just hope they figure this out fast and in the mean time the peeps do what Daisy said – the royal treatment.
Alyssa, Mr. Fox & Scruffy
Supposedly, I’ll walk better than now. It’s the “pinky” and the real weight and walking stress go on the other toes,.
So not excited for you either… but if it helps you walk better… fingers crossed the antibiotics work!
That’s a bummer, Kyla. We’ll keep our paws crossed for whatever is the BEST option.
XXXOOO Bella & Roxy
This calls for more green beans!
You know me-everything calls for more green beans.
Me and Nellie are sorry to read of your medical problems, but it sounds like you are in good paws.
I certainly hope so. I think that toe is a goner.
Goodness, we are feeling frustrated for you Kyla. We are keeping our paws crossed.
Wally & Sammy
Thanks my chinas
I am still laughing at “Wally the Wanker ” Losing a pinkie is better than going through all this pain Kyla. And think of all the jokes we can come up with, once your better 🙂 Lub’z you xxoxxx
Mollie and Alfie
Yeah, like don’t ask Kyla to balance a checkbook because she can only count to 19.
Kyla we continue to send healing vibes and POTP. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Thanks, Molly. I’m sure it all helps.
And I thought the xpert had good news for you. I cross my paws that all goes well. And I hope hope hope there is no sign of big C . You will be in my thoughts the whole time and I’m there to hold your paw.
Ouch, just not THAT one.
So sorry to hear this. I was hoping that you would have good news. Will keep you and your peeps in my prayers.

They’re hacking at me piece by piece. First they removed my, well, you know.
This little piggy went to the market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home
Oh Kyla I hope it is not the roast beef piggy.
Praying it gets better on the antibiotics.
Sweet William The Scot
It’s the pinky piggy.
If I could kiss the pinky and make it all better I would.
SWTS
paws crossed that those antibiotics kick in and start to work. Kyla – this is no time to be stubborn, so you just let that medicine do what it needs to do!
Edgar and his mum
Me? Stubborn?
OH MY DAWG! Kyla!!!!! What can I do to help make you feel better my gal pal???? Run over to AriZooooona and take care of you? Bring you some green beans???? ANYTHING… JUST NAME IT.
Now hear this: it is NOT C.
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Stuart
ARRRROOOOOOOOOOO! Green Beans pour moi?
Well bugger on this. I was hoping for a different outcome. I’m sure you’ll take the right path to make sure you’ll be well.
Have a woof woof day. 🙂
But I’m not looking forward to it.
Oh boy, I know how nerveracking the waiting game is. Here’s hoping for a bit of good luck.
Thanks-I think having those antibiotics get this thing is my toe’s last hope.
A whole wheek?! Whee are sure hoping you start feeling better soon.
Sending you lots of healing vibes!
Nacho, Noah, Buddy & Basil

Hopefully it clears up during that time. That wheek, the peeps can be home for four days following surgery and provide emotional support.
Oh No Sweetie, now you gots Bites all worried, he is laying in the living room with his paws crossed, and ME well the POTP and my power of the green bean is going for you. We don’t like this waiting, but just maybe the drugs will help!
Susie & Sidebite
Drugs may help-they’re the toe’s last hope.
We are praying for you. I don’t know why this just turned up. Sorry for the delay in responding.
A toe amputation? Oh no! You’re a strong girl, Kyla…you can beat this! Let us know how it goes. Much love, The Scottie Mom.
