July: Ildi has puppy warts

I wish I had taken a picture of her warts so that other could know - she had 3 warts. One on the outside of her mouth, basically on top of her whisker hair follicles. Then 2 inside above her teeth, along her gums. The one on the outside got to as big a corn kernal and was pretty gross to look at! The ones on the inside were white and like little cauliflower clumps.
We were away for 2 weeks in those two weeks, the warts reached full size. So when we got back to her we weren't sure what to do -do we take her to the vet? can they be removed? Chad did lots of research and it seems like there was no point in taking her to the vet, but there were some more natural remedies - like giving her 500mg of L-Lysine everyday. and that seemed to work quickly - within a week the wart on the outside was dying (turning black). Then within 2 weeks the outside wart was mostly black and while playing it must have gotten caught on something and the wart came off (there was a little blood). The inside warts were now turning grey with black flecks and now by 3 weeks, they have gone down completely.

They say puppy warts are pretty common as their immune system hasn't fully developed to its strongest, but like chicken pox and kids - she shouldn't get them again!

Here's a pic of Chad and Ildi's usual nap time - only Ildi's getting pretty big! :)
