Warts on GSDs?

bigdoglover · 02-21-2005, 05:08 PM

Has anyone ever had a GSD get warts? I noticed one on Conan's leg today. It's not huge, but it's there. He will be 7 here soon, and I'm wondering if it's an age thing or what. I know schnauzers and poodles are prone to them, but never heard of shepards getting them. Maybe I've been stuck in the kennel too long!! LOL

I believe that any dog, at any age, can get warts. My 2 year old GSMD has one little wart on his shoulder. Just keep an eye on it to be sure that it doesn't grow, bleed, or start to look abnormal. I believe that the older they are, the more likely they are to have a wart or two...

Whimper use to get those as she aged. Just a normal thing for dogs to get. Just keep an eye on them. I use to have the vet check them every year at her yearly check ups and then I would take her in if I noticed anything unusual with them.

Thanx for the info!! I was a bit concerned, (although Conan didn't seem to care about it!!) and thought I would ask. I learn something new everyday!! Thanx again
