Taking your dog to your vet would give you a definitive answer and thats a very good idea. Once you know for sure what it is, homeopathic therapy is fine for the epulus-a benign overgrowth of gum tissue that is not harmful to your dog and for which calcarea is a valid option. If that doesn't seem to work then I would try Thuga. I wouldn't do anything until you are sure of exactly what it is as canine pappiloma virus-which is a fancy name for warts would require different therapy. I am glad to talk to you and am available toll free at 1 866 372 2765. Thank you Dr Carol www.drcarol.com Hi Molly,

One vet suggested canine papiloma virus, one suggested an epulus, (both in phone consults). What is the difference? Id like to treat homeopathically, and see a possibility of Calcarea carbonica for the epulus on your site. My homeopathic friend suggested Thuja which I also saw in Dr Pitcairn's book. Do you have a preference or other suggestion that I can add to my choices? Thank you for anything you can share. Sincerely Molly Jarin Hello,
