Aging Cocker Spaniel

Question
My 9 year old male cocker spaniel has in the last year started getting what I would call "warts"  or "moles".  On the underside of his belly he has this as well.  Sort of a crusty type thing. Is this normal?  Is it due to aging?


Thanks.

Answer
Hello Richard,

This could be a few things. The majority are easily treated but it could also indicate something more serious. Whatever the case, you should have a Vet take a look at him and if necessary, the Vet will prescribe you the most effective treatment.

Yours sincerely,
