I worked on this disease back in the 1970s. It is for the most part a
rarely seen and
insignificant viral infection seen usually on the lips of coyotes and wolves of Alberta (likely much more widely spread elsewhere). My guess is that many, perhaps most youngsters get mild infections. If they are in good nutritional condition these few warts heal and animal is now immune for life.
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.
