When are my dog's mouth warts no longer contagious if I can see them?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocket. Most warts in or around the mouths of young dogs are due to a papillomavirus. They are usually contagious and should spontaneously resolve. You can always verify this is the case with his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

Hi. These growths look like papillomas or warts. Typically, these are caused by a virus that he may have contracted by coming in contact with another dog's saliva that had the contagious virus. This may have been through a shared food or water bowl, toy, or through playing. This virus usually runs it course and the warts fall off, but it can take weeks. Sometimes, your vet may have to surgically remove them. Your dog is contagious as long as the warts are present.

These look like juvenile warts (oral papilloma). Such warts are caused by a virus, they are self-limiting and and will go away by themselves eventually within a few months. They will need veterinary attention if they increase significantly in size or amount or start bleeding, get infected, or cause other problems.

Those look like growths or warts from a viral infection. Your vet can take a sample of one and see if there is a secondary infection associated with it. Sometimes the virus can pass on its own. All you can do is make sure she is eating still and softens hr food if needed

This is Papillomavirus. This is more common in young dogs and the majority of the time you just have to let the virus work itself out of the system. If they start getting really bad we can try to treat. I wouldn't be too concerned about your older dogs especially if you were just playing with the puppy. It is very contagious but when dogs have a good immune system it is harder to get the virus, although not impossible. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

This most likely is Papillomavirus and is a virus that basically needs to run its course. It may get worse before getting better. If it interferes with Tyson's eating then I would discuss this with your veterinarian since we can crush some of the papillomas if needed but it is recommended to leave them be. It is also a contagious virus so I would recommend not bringing him around other dogs. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Warts in puppies are typically caused by the papilloma virus, and can regress and go away on their own in about a month or two. Teddy should be kept away from other dogs until the wart has regressed. If it doesn't regress in a month or two, or you can't afford to wait that long to return him to doggy daycare, I would speak to your vet about seeing if it can be removed or if medications can be used to get rid of it. I hope this helps!
