Warts on the Lips
???????????????? Check your dogs, please, for warts on the mouth...? |

| There is a dog at my park who has a wart that looks like a big cauliflower on her lip. She was told by her vet it is a normal part of puppy adolescence and that it is harmless and will fall off. It is gross though and contagious, so I wish she wouldn't come to the park (especially because Maggie is such a chin licker). Here's some info I found via google:

| Uh, yuck!
Thanks for the link Val. Sure looks like a sheepdog in that photo too. |
| Yup! That's exactly what she has....
Mentions an incubation period of 1 to 2 months, so she must have got them from the dog park. Also mentions an immature immune system can be the culprit for catching them....With her poor immune system that would explain her catching them and not Bosley..... Poor Dixie. No more dog park now for a while........  And with Bosley recovering from his eye surgery that was the place we were going to use up her energy....
Oh, well. Long walks will do her good, too. |
| Poor Dixie... have they run tests on her to check for immune mediated causes for the various things she has going on? |

A lot of bloodwork has been run on her, a couple of times. She is hypo-thyroid, but the rest is being attributed to allergies and mange. The allergies and mange resulting from a low immune system, resulting from stress and malnutrition. She is getting better in that area, though. She scratched herself raw after being a horse stables a couple weeks ago. Before I would have run her in for antibiotics right away, but this time I just kept an eye on it. The open sore never got infected, and the large scab just fell off last nite. All nice and clean skin underneath  .
But now warts...Yuck.... |
| Thanks for the site. That got put into "favorites" immediately. |
| THAT WAS GOING AROUND OUR LOCAL DOG PARK LAST YEAR (AT LEAST THATS WHAT "THEY" TELL ME...) THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS I'M A LITTLE LOATHE TO LET PIP GO...
HOPE IT CLEARS UP SOON! AND WATCH BOSLEY, THEY'RE PRETTY CONTAGIOUS. |
