Dog Wart or Not?

Hi Adria,
From the photo and very little history, it looks more like a histiocytoma, or possibly a mast cell tumor.

Histiocytomas are growths found in dogs between the ages of 6 months to 2 years.

Mast cell tumors are found in older dogs, over 2 years of age.

A benign wart does NOT start off with a scab and grow that rapidly.

I would suggest you seek the help of a holistic veterinarian for differentiating what it could be, also your dog needs some good support for the immune system, and NO MORE VACCINATIONS!

Following are a few good immune supplementation options:

1. Missing Link Canine Formula
2. Immuplex from Standard Process
3. OrthoMolecular Specialties, Mega C Powder

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.

Take care,

Dear Anonymous,

Adria has not responded regarding her dog’s response to my suggestions. If you have a question regarding your 7 month old dog, perhaps you would like to subscribe and submit some photos?

I am happy to help, but we only accept new questions from subscribers (the original question above was from a subscriber).
