Abstract

A four and a half year old crossbred male dog was presented with several cauliflower like growth on oral mucosa that progressively developed over a period of one month. These growths were grayish-white in colour and were diagnosed as canine oral papillomatosis based on clinical examination. Earlier treatment with Azithromycin orally, autoimmune therapy, topical application of imiquimod cream and injections of lithium antimony thiomalate proved to be ineffective. Later topical application of Hydrastis canadensis and Calendula officinalis homeopathic mother tincture proved effective in treating the condition.
