He has had one grouth removed but it grew back . Please send me information on this if you have any . Pookie - Craniomandibular osteopathy is most common in terrier breeds but can occur in other breeds as well. It is a proliferation of bone for no known reason that I am aware of. It can be painful and due to the effects on things like being able to eat it can lead to weight loss and drooling.
Fever can occur on and off in some dogs.
There is no treatment that I know of, either. Pain relieving medications should be used if there is any indication at all of pain. Fortunately, most dogs outgrow this condition and often the bone proliferation will even resolve. Some dogs have such severe signs that they have to be euthanized before they can reach early adulthood when the disease tends to dissipate. Inc. Opinions expressed are those of Dr. Richards.
