I have a 12-year-old female Cocker Spaniel who also has growths all over her body. I have had some removed (in conjunction with other surgery) but the vet says they are harmless and not to worry about it. I want to do something because I know they bother her as she will scratch until they start bleeding. They are viral papillomas. One source indicated that they are caused by a compromised immune system and that Silver Colloidal would help boost the immune system. I have not talked to my vet yet about that but I am thinking about contacting a homeopathic veterinarian for another opinion. I would be interested if anyone else has found a remedy. I have her groomed every six weeks and in between bathe her myself using a medicated shampoo, but that has had no bearing on the warts going away. If it is viral, it seems to me that something sould help it. Any suggestions by others out there having the same concern??
