I was mauling our puppy a week or so ago and noticed this wart like thing on his lip. I did not think too much about it but then noticed another one a couple days later. I made an appt with the vet for tomorrow. There is now a third one and the first two have grown. Anyone else have experince with these?

Do they look kinda like cauliflower?? It sounds by his age and your description of how they came up like canine viral papilloma. Quite contagious among young dogs, usually seen before 2 yrs of age or after treatment with steroids. For the most part treatment is unneccessary, possible complications that would require meds are infection or warts becoming large enough to interfere with eating/drinking or breathing.
Here is a link with some good info. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body...apillomas.html
