Is it this?

#

Huh that's odd
Yeah no honestly I'm not sure especially if it's not stuck shed and you're allowed to touch it

#

Maybe? But also NQA

Did the vet say what was actually wrong? It seems a little drastic to me to consider euthanasia at this stage. I’m absolutely NQA on this subject I’m just a little shocked by the vet’s recommendation, especially if she has been showing signs of improvement. Again I’m NQA so no idea what I’m actually talking about here but it doesn’t look like necrosis or anything that would severely impact QOL so I’m just very confused by this, unless it’s some kind of tumor or something but idk that just seems like a huge leap to me (but again I am not a medical professional or experienced in dealing with any Leo’s with foot related issues so maybe I am just ignorant to the potential severity of this?)
