Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old spayed English pointer developed multiple skin growths, including pigmented plaques and various types of tumors, such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. Tests showed that these skin issues were linked to canine papillomavirus type 3, indicating that the virus was likely responsible for the growths. It's important for pet owners to monitor their dogs for unusual skin changes and consult their veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
