Black wart on side of dog's penis
by Simon Meyers
(London, UK)
My dog has what looks like a black wart on the side of his penis. I thought it was a tick at first - but it's clearly not, and it's getting slightly bigger - not dramatically bigger but it's definitely enlarging.
It doesn't seem to be bothering him and it doesn't seem to be painful, but he is aware of it, and I've noticed him licking it - not obsessively but he is sensitive to it being touched/examined.
My dog is a 3-year-old very healthy and normal-weight Standard Schnauzer and eats a mixture of dog kibble and fresh chicken and meat.
Is this a wart that can be treated? Or is it something else? I know I should have it checked out in person but I won't be near a vet until next week.
