Why does Casey keep getting these? I won't give her the steroids to get rid of them. Baytil gets rid of it, but it comes back. Any other remedies?
We had it biopsied once years ago and it was benign. Should we have it biopsied again, since it keeps coming back?

Never a dull moment with these Shepherds, I tell ya........

Anybody?

My vet said that usually cats get them, not dogs.

Maybe post on a cat board? Check Yahoo for a group?

All the stuff I found was for cats.

Steroids do have their place-would it be long term or short? This was the article that I found:

Is it in her mouth?

That is just weird-sorry!

Yes, on the roof of her mouth. just like on the picture with the dog.
My vet said it's immune related.

Thanks

Amen to that.

In cats, it's often thought to be vaccine related.
