Dog Wart on Right Front Leg That Dog Chews On
by Robin Wood
(Vista, CA)
My dog developed this wart on his right front leg. At first it was small, but he has started to chew and pick at it to the point that sometimes it bleeds. It seems to have grown, but I don't know if it's just swollen due to his chewing on it.
The wart is flesh colored and does not show any signs of black or discoloration except for when it bleeds due to his chewing on it. It also seems like it itches.
I started putting on Vitamin E today as I read that can help.
He is an over 11.5 year old Husky mix and is showing signs of his age. He's very stiff and avoids the other animals as they seem to stress him out.
I am concerned that traveling to the vet or even removal could cause him to have a stroke as he is scared to death to travel in the car.
Any info you can give is appreciated.
Thank you,
Robin
