Take it to fish and wildlife to show them , they may wanna document it

We just called mouth warts too.
Used to see them a lot but, like 1 out of 5 in the early 90s. Haven't seen any for quite some time now. |
Oral papillomas. Saw one case a while back in bc.
Here is a copy and paste. Twelve cases of oral papillomatosis were detected in wild carnivores of Alberta, ten in coyotes (Canis latrans) and two in wolves (Canis lupus). Lesions ranged from mild with a few small papillomas to severe with much of the surface of the lips, tongue and buccal cavity covered with papillomas. Three of five coyotes with severe papillomatosis were in obvious poor health. I can't find much else on the condition. Call f&w, let them know. |
I've never seen it, but I bet Michael Douglas can tell you how that coyote got it.:thinking-006:

I have seen significant numbers of warts in masses on the lips, in the mouth and even down the throat. This was on a small adult with severe mange. I am guessing it is likewise common in pup dogs, but is seldom seen and soon gone because pups are in good health. JMO. ticdoc |
I've never seen it before either.
Red, we must have clean living dogs in this area. |
You could be right Bushmaster. This isn't exactly Hollywood North.:)

I've had two big male coyotes with it in the last 3 yrs. Both within 3 miles of each other. Had a game warden check it out. Forget what he called it but it's mostly spread by males fighting. Both the ones I got were very skinny an I doubt they'd of lived much longer

Looks like papillomavirus, my Australian Shepherd got it when she was young. Dogs get them when they are younger then 2 years of age after that they have an immunity to the virus. My pup had them in her mouth, between her toes and on her face, it took about 6 months of using medication to get rid of them. The vet was worried that they would infect her throat and that she would stop eating and starve to death. The virus is transferred by saliva and also is found in the soil.

Yup that's the big ol name the game warden called it. Coyotes I caught were for sure not pups tho.
|
Talked with the head of fish and wildlife wildlife disease department they get a few cases every year mostly in young coyotes. Really nothing to worry about. If they coyote is in good health the warts fall off and they are immune for life

Don't lick your fingers after skinning them.
|
Canine papilloma virus is species-specific and therefore cannot be transmitted from dogs to humans or cats.
