Papilloma Virus In Guinea Pigs

[eileen]

One of my piggies has a small strip of white on his nose,its small,i thought it maybe a fungal issue.my vet stated it was caused by the papilloma virus and there is no treatment for this .I'm aware humans get it.j ust wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this.research on the internet has revealed oral papilloma virus.Is it something to be concerned about?

Can you get down to Simon? I'm sure he'll sort it.

Carlton had got early stages of Leukemia,no treatment at present.I'm to enjoy Carlton.I'm going to spoil him,hes coming out of the shed to an inside 6x2 c and c cage,just got to decide which of the wives to bring in,he has five at present,but I'm going to make two herds,some of them are very dominant,so may defuse some of the tension.
