The American Beagler Forum

these are pics of my Hunter Man's tongue... looks like some type of growth. I just noticed it a cpl of weeks ago and thought maybe he bit into
something (bee, wasp...???) and it woul go away. But it has not done so.

Went to vet today and he had no info other than put him to sleep, cut them off and send them in for analysis. I will do this if needed.
but was just hoping someone says " Oh hell, that is just ......, and this is what you do for it "

Any body???

they will fall off and go away. it's a viral thing. it has to run it's corse. they will get bigger and look like there buding. sometimes you can pull off the biger ones.

cool... what is it??? what causes it??

Is this Viral Papilloma? Is that the virul thing you speak of... AKA Dog Warts?

never heard or seen this before... but I did some googling and found this to be the name of what I believe you are
speaking of.

and yes the text reads that enevtually the dogs immune system will take over and combat the virus, thus the growth
goes away... weird.

yes that is it. it may get worse before it gets better. i beleave that once they've had it they won't get it again.

Thank you sir... I knew if anybody had teh answer they would be on this forum... Gotta love it!!!

I can't believe your vet had never seen those before! Is the vet YOUNG? Some folks give Vitamin B for warts. Others say crush them. I go the "crush one (with forcepts)and get the dog swallow it" route. IMO this seems to make the immune system recognize the virus and kick into gear faster. Fortunately, once detected, they disappear nearly as fast as they showed up. Best wishes!

I'm the vitamin "B". pill or shot method! It has worked for me. It only seems to come in middle summer and early fall. Don't know why. Dadelion juice will rid them too and also take warts and moles off humans if you just put in on them, NOT swallow it.

is the dandilion juice from the flower, or the greens. I sure like the greens cut up when young mixed with turnips or mustard. I have never had warts, just wondering if that has anything to do with it.

The white milk from the greens stalks.
We gather it and its only in there part of the year. It will look all red and black tipped for a short while, but, will just turn loose and fall off.
Yes, I 'll bet that's why you do not have worts. Good for other stuff too.

Dandilion Juice??? Years ago my dad had me go and pick Dandilions aso he culd make wine... he has not had warts either

He is an older vet... I have decided we will not go back to him as I had one otehr instance where he diagnosed cruciate ligament in by Twister pup.
just have no confidence in him.

I read about the crushing of them to speed up the immune system... just not sure if I can get it done... I can certainly try the vitamin B
since the Dandilions are out of season in Arkansas.
I do have some hemostats that I coul grab it with so may try that when I get back home

Thanks Guys

John, thanks for the tip about the emu oil! I got some cream that contains emu oil and my hand is MUCH better! I may have to break down and buy the pure oil next time. Not many folks around here have emus anymore. Back in the 80's they were everywhere when folks thought they could get rich off them!

They are gone!!!
I was in Cincinatti with my daughter in Childens Hospital for the past week. Got home at Midnight last night and checked
this morning and all looks normal....

Thanks for the advice guys!!!
