This most likely is Papillomavirus and is a virus that basically needs to run its course. It may get worse before getting better. If it interferes with Tyson's eating then I would discuss this with your veterinarian since we can crush some of the papillomas if needed but it is recommended to leave them be. It is also a contagious virus so I would recommend not bringing him around other dogs. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
