Default Weird coyote ailment

Buddy sent me a pic of a coyote he got. Teeth look strange and go way back into the back of the mouth. It's mouth is packed full of brown and white growths or sores. Anyone have any idea what it would be? I'm no good at pics on here. Someone wants to post a pic for me, I could text a pic. Pm me a number.

Sounds like mouth warts.
Don't see it much lately but was real common in the 90s.
Looks gross but not contagious.

Interesting I also was sent a recent photo like that from a fellow in the states. We did some searching and came up with canine papillomatosis.

Yup, that's them.
Nothing to worry about but I wouldn't lick my fingers while skinning.
Like I said, I don't see it much now but at one time about every 5th or 6th yote had them.

I would say that coyote has HPV. I’ve heard they can get it from eating cats.

It's canine papilloma virus, when our Aussie was a pup she had them in he mouth, on her face and on her feet. Took working with w vet to get it cleared up. He was worried about them growing down her throat.
