Warts In Mouth

[Mas1981]

I picked up my dog today from the clinic where he had RUSH immunotherapy - they noticed when checking his gum color that he had one big wart and 2 small ones in his mouth, they advised me to take him to my vet as soon as possible, we have an appointment in the morning. What could it be and is it contagious to other dogs and cats?

It could be CPV - Canine Papilloma Virus. There are 2 forms, one of which appears on the membranes of the lips/mouth and down the throat. It appears in immuno-suppressed animals.

My GSD had a Papiloma (wart) when she was younger. Here is some info for you http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_canin...papillomas.html

If it's canine papilloma, the lumps normally go away by themself as the dog grows.
