I've searched but haven't found anything here on Leerburg about canine papilloma virus. This virus has broken out at the training facility where I work. My boss suspects it was brought in by at least one of the dogs that frequents dog parks. Have any of you dealt with this? How did you treat it? Is it a once in a lifetime occurrence?
I get my pup this Sunday. I figure it will be safe as long as I don't expose it to the facility, but wonder if it is inevitable if dogs "socialize", share water bowls, share toys.

It's not dangerous unless you have a large group of oral growths. It's basically like cold sores. It goes away as the dog gets older in most cases. My parents boxer got one when she was 2 and it faded completely by the time she was three. There's no treatment that I know of other than freezing off growths that cause problems. If the dogs have direct contact with another dogs growths they are probably at risk of getting them. Have they found the dog who originally had them and are they allowing the dogs physical contact still? All dogs were visually inspected for them when I worked at a boarding facility.

Dangerous in what way?

I'm not sure they've narrowed it down to one dog.

They are visually inspecting all dogs as they come in each morning, but I think they pretty much assume all the dogs have been exposed, at this point. Those dogs showing visible "warts" are being kept in their crates, which is hard...these dogs are mostly young and enjoy playing and training together. Some owners have opted to keep their dogs home, which is hard for the business.
