Dog Wart

[Catlady711]

I second the vote for a second opinon. Sometimes bumps/lumps on eyelids can be tumors not warts or skin tags, especially if it's growing. As far as I know the only way to find out is have it removed and sent in to the lab to be sure.

Hi all,

Thank you for the posts...

I can't sleep well thinking there was something growing on my dog's eye. So I had it removed last Thursday. I also got the lab results back and the vet said its a viral wart. It's gone for now and I sure hope it doesn't come back again.

By the way, my dog's name is Snapples and here's her pix.

Thanks again!

My 12 old soon to be 13 () year old black Labrador, Sadie (can be seen below in my siggy), had a wart on her bottom eyelid. The vet said it's fine, so I'm not worried about it. I don't think I ever seen or heard of another dog with a wart on their eyelid! Strange place for a wart, huh?

Snapples is very cute, by the way.

I had a starvation abuse case come in last year and she was about 1 1/2 years old with at least 30 warts on her back with leathery skin. Now I took her to the vet and he was suppose to ask a colleege about and could never get any info. In beauties case we thought maybe the malnutrition and fleas infected her skin to cause it but never found out why. Now I was able to clear most of them up with a high Immune diet with 1000mg vit C daily. Here is a picture of them.




Now before she was adopted I had about 7 more of those dissapear. You can see up her back where there were many more. I wish I knew a quick cure but I never spent the money of TSCR on a biopsy for them. Its hard to tell what really caused them. As she got healthier they just dried up and went away.

Hi MajesticCollies,

You're right...Our vet told us that it has something to do with the immune system. Since my dog's still a pup her immune system might not be that strong.

I am going back to the vet with her in a few days and I will ask the vet more about it.

Just curious, what kind of vitamin C do you give her?

By the way, based on the pix I think its the same as the one that was on Snapples a week ago...

Thanks,

Ellen

Glad to hear that it was nothing more than a wart. I hope it doesn't come back!

By the way - Snapples is adorable!!!
