A couple of months ago Lolly had to have a warty growth removed from her ear. It had grown rapidly and was the size and look of a small raspberry that got knocked whilst playing causing it to bleed. The op went well and that was that...............or so I thought
A week ago I noticed a tiny growth (not much bigger that a pin head) in the same ear and it has doubled in size in a week. So I popped Lolly to see our vet just in case getting her seen while it was small may make any procedure to remove it (if necessary) easier.
Our vet said she had read up on these growths and they are caused by the wart virus (as in humans) and hopefully the virus will run it's course and she'll outgrow them. We need to keep our eye on the growths and the vet only wants to think about removing them if they are giving Lolly bother (bleeding or causing her discomfort).
Again - another trip to our vet that leaves me thoroughly impressed with her. Not only had she done some research before we saw her but no charge for the consult!!!!
On another note - she said she has been recommending Barking Heads to all her clients with dogs with dirty, itchy ears after seeing how amazing the results of changing Lolly to it left her ears!
