Canine Papilloma Virus - oral - Page 1

Ok, so my rescue Am Staff, 7mth old male (we adopted him December 5th) has CPV. Oral variety. I had the vet look, and he says he was exposed to the virus before my home, (and probably the rescues too).. he says no "cure" its viral, and had to run its course.. they should clear up on their own within 2-5 months.
Anyone have any experience with this? and how long did it take to clear up? My female Am Staff, and my female Shiba Inu do NOT have them, nor never have..

CPV can be transmitted through birth or at the rescue organization through other dogs saliva. I would suggest homeopathic treatment with Thuja C 30, if you are open to that. One dose (2 pellets orally) in your dogs mouth (they disolve) / once a day until symptoms clear up significantly - stop treatment as soon as you see improvement.

Pretty common, a lot of dogs get it and the owners never even realize it. We imported a male from Germany last year that had it when he got here. Within a month, every dog in our house but 2 had it as well. It just had to run it's course. It can take quite a while, so don't panic. We had one guy here who ended up with a huge wart on the side of his nose. It was really kind of funny, and we thought it would NEVER go away, but it finally did.  I think it took 3-4 months to completely clear up in our pack. The vets have different ideas on treatment, some say to leave the warts alone and some will tell you to have them removed (for a fee, of course) and one vet here in town just kind of pops them off, no charge, and says that doing that will stimulate the immune system. It didn't seem to hurt, so on our dogs, we would remove the warts that were very obvious or were in a place that seemed to get nicked a lot.

They will run their course and go away on their own over a course of a few months, but they can also be treated with Azithromycin and will be gone within 10 days.  One of my pups came down with them a few years ago, probably picked them up at puppy class as it is more common in younger dogs.  I let it run it's course and it took a few months.  His were not too bad.  He passed them on to my older female at home and her's were far worse.  They were large and bloody.  I asked the vet about trying the Azithromycin treatment and at the end of the 10 day course the warts were either completely gone or so small that you didn't notice them at all.
