My girl, Sadie, has pretty good sized wart right by her right(?) front led... I'm very concerned. Any ideas on what it could be?? :confused: I'd take a picture of it, but her fur is covering it.
Thanks...

Has it always been there? Possibly a tumor, but most likley just a wart from her old age.
Does it feel like it's under the skin, or on top? Under the skin, it might be just a wen - a fatty tumor that's harmless. But it's worth a vet trip just to be sure.
Does it seem warm, or like it is bothering her?
Warts are quite common in older labs. They are just benign tumors; You said it was a good size --- does it kind of look like little brains? Often these ones grow and get infected.
Wow, I feel like such an idiot! :o :o My dad said that she had a little cut (we don't know what from) and he put some hydrogen peroxide on the cut, and I *think* this 'wart' is a scab... I HOPE so. :(
I'm still going to have Dr. Apple (vet) take a looksie at it...
Thanks for your concerns... I'll keep you updated.
Karen- I don't recall it feeling warm, and I'm sure it's not bothering her. When we were touching it, and looking at it, it didn't seem to hurt her.
Alyssa- Nope, it hasen't always been there.
Thanks...
I noticed a wart on my dogs ear, and took her to the vet to have it examined,
the vet gave me general information on warts, (namely ), Papillomas.
These are non-cancerous wards commonly found on the skin of older dogs. They occur more freqently in males, and their cause is unknown. \\I am typing this imformation from a sheet of paper that this vet gave to me in Oct. 2005,
There may be one or several of these growths and they are usually small.
These tumors are not cancerous, and, surgical removal is usually successful.
surgury is usually recommended if the papilloma is repeatedly traumatized for any reason.
Removal can be considered if you feel the papilloma is cosmetically unacceptable.
such factors as number ,location and size of the growths , and age and general health of the dog are considered in deciding whether to do surgery
Up date me on this WART!!!!
I don't want to scare you.
but,
If given the chance, I would have done Blood work on my dog.
Warts can mean several things, so, have blood work done on your dog !!!
to comfirm that there is no cancer!!!
My Foxy Jean had cancer, I did not know this on Oct. 11th, 2005!!!I was given a protective balm . The wart went away. But, I noticed that Foxy's lymph nodes were swollen as well!!!! So, have some blod work done, just in case.
Foxy is gone now. Cancer of course. I took her back to the Vet early in Nov. , 2005. I rest my case with all that.
Maybe? Maybe this wart is actually cancerous?
Please keep me posted !!!! :eek:
Dorthy... the vet is coming on the 10th of July... I believe it's just a scab... and if not... I'll keep you posted!Quote:
