george, how did your appointment go.
i think vets or regular physicians most of us have dealt with at least one bad experience.
Well, the good news is that this second vet doesn't think that Ebonie has a tumor! 

 She (the vet) examined Ebonie's paw and claws and noticed...and I quote, "for lack of a better word:  gunk" coming out of the left pinkie claw.  The healing index claw still looks good but she could tell that something was going on.  The vet examined the gunk under a microscope and said that there wasn't much pus at all, it was more like a yeast infection.  She said that if it was a tumor, it was more than likely that there wouldn't be two claws that were affected (oozing gunk).  Not that it can't happen, but it's rare for that to happen with a tumor.  So, the course of action right now it to apply this ointment on both claws for a week and if it's still gunky or gets worse, they will do a biopsy then.  Along with the ointment, I'll still give Ebonie the antibiotics until they're all gone.
As for the bad news...there isn't any, at this time.
