Unusual lip masses

Niall Taylor — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 12:08:48 GMT

I've just seen an 18 week old newfoundland with 3 small, firm, white masses on the lip, left side at the commisure.

They look like papillomas but I'm not sure there is a papilloma virus in dogs in the UK, and this dog is UK bred. I've never seen anything like them previously so any suggestions as to what they might be would be most welcome. Otherwise it'll be sedate and biopsy!

Hermaphrodite Border Collie

Steve Perkins — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 08:50:43 GMT

This 11mth old B Collie bitch came in because the owner had discovered "something protruding" from her vulva when investigating if she was in season (one of her male dogs had been sniffing around but no other signs were present.)

On examination the protrusion photographed here would appear to be a vestigial penis, complete with Os penis and bulbus penis at its base but no urethral orifice. In all other respects (anatomically and behaviourally, the bitch is female)
