Question:
My german shorthair has flowerly looking spores in his mouth. We just moved to Fl from Co and noticed them on the trip down. He has had them for about a week now. Has anyone seen or heard of this before. I am in the process of looking for a vet. We also have a hurricane about to hit in a few hours...should be exciting to see how the dogs handle the weather..they will be safe inside with us. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Derek

Answer:
These, I believe without seeing a picture, are puppy warts. The clumps have a "cauliflower" appearance. They are called Canine Papillomas. Here is a website. They are more of a nuisance than anything. I would not have them removed if your vet suggests it, they will disappear on their own. I have know many dogs with this, including one of mine.
