My puppy has oral papilloma warts. What's the best treatment?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 7 months and 7 days old

Hello doctor, I am having an indigenous male dog breed of Manipur, India. He is 7 month old. I found two white round warts jagged surface reminiscent of a cauliflower in his mouth. So i consulted local vet and diagnosed as ORAL PAPILLOMA. The doctor didn't prescribed any medication except an ointment called T- baet. Before that he sucked my dog's blood and injected to the infected area twice in a gap of 1 week. Later on tied the wart with thread and disappeared but many small warts came up ..

Unfortunately, there isn't anything to do to reliably resolve the warts. It is just a question of time and having the body recognize the warts and take care of them. This can take up to 2 months. The methods that your vet has tried sometimes result in them resolving faster than just leaving them alone. I am attaching a handout with more information below that may be helpful for you. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951355 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
