A five months old, male Beagle pup with several cauliflower-like outgrowths on oral mucous membrane and lips was brought to University Veterinary Hospital, Kokkalai. The growths were rounded, moist, pink in colour and with a narrow stalk. Resection of two growths was done under local anaesthesia and subjected to histopathology, which revealed proliferation of keratinized squamous cell epithelium with fibovascular stalk, indicating papillomas. Based upon the clinical signs and histopathology result, the disease was diagnosed as canine oral papillomatosis. Analogous autohaemotherapy (AHT) was selected as the method of therapeutic management. Resolution of the papillomas started within a week of administration of 5 mL of the animals’s own blood as intramuscular injection, and complete recovery occurred within one month. This article discusses AHT for canine oral papillomatosis along with its hematological and histopathological results.
