Yep, not everything is rainbows and sunshine when you own a dog. There's always that icky stuff you have to do, such as wiping their butt of runny poo, taking trash off the street out of their mouths with your bare hands, or in this instance, finding weird bumps in their mouths. You have to know that we were so scared when we saw these. For one, they are really big. Secondly, we did some research online and it could've been two things; warts or a cancerous tumor.
We took her to the vet and luckily for us, it's papillomatosis, or "mouth herpes" for dogs. Obviously, she got it from the dog park and until they are gone, she can't play with any dogs. (sad face)They are extremely contagious and are mainly passed through dogs under the age of two. They can last for up to 5 months (says the vet). Cheese and Rice, right?! So now, Trixie goes on LONG walks to exert a tiny bit of her energy.
Make sure that you check your cute little dog's mouth.
