I read the article bjh posted, I'm not sure if that's the type of wart my poodle had, but I think if they were viral her sister would have caught them too. They were always grooming each other and were very close. My vet just said they're something old dogs get and we didn't need to do anything.
The only time the warts caused a problem was when the groomer cut the heads off about 15 warts, poor dog was so itchy. We got a new groomer after that and she only cut one wart in like 3 groomings and felt horrible about it. |
Grooming was my issue with the pup that was always in a puppy clip. When my 2nd started she was about 15 y/o my vet froze them, 2 or 3 visits is all it took for one wart, no more surgery to remove warts.She only had 2 and they were around her nose. The pup that sported the puppy cut needed surgery 3 times over a 2 year period to remove warts. I always waited until she had several to do the surgery, one groomer buzzed off the heads of 5 warts after I told her where the warts were. Found another groomer. At least now I know yorkies are not prone to warts, I've been checking my lil guy weekly for them. I am sure the warts were from various meds both these babies were on.
