Dogs Skin Tumours
Just like humans, dogs can also have skin tumours; these are skin lumps and bumps. Fortunately, most of these skin tumours are benign, but of course, some can be a serious condition. Skin papillomas or sebaceous gland adenomas are the most common skin growths.
These skin papillomas are common in dogs, especially as dogs get older. Skin papillomas in dogs usually appear like a cauliflower surface. Warts are usually benign in dogs and they commonly appear anywhere on the body, these are just natural occurrences and changes in dogs’ body especially as dogs get older.
Weather you (dog-owner) like it or not, you will eventually discover an abnormal mass or lump somewhere on your dog’s body. Identifying which one of these lumps and abnormal mass are much more serious can be difficult simply because we are not properly informed about it. In this case, it is critical that you have it check by a Vet
