4. My father's Chow developed mouth warts when he was a puppy

He was the sweetest little guy in the whole world and he and dad were BFFs. Dad was an engineer and brilliant, but didn't know much about disease. I know human care and loved that little dog too. Knowing that warts are caused by a virus, I gave him 100 mgs of Vitamin C a day for 2 days and the warts disappeared. I had to split up a tablet to do this and then place it into his mouth, he didn't appreciate the taste but he was so sweet and gentle, he let me do it.

I thought of this when reading the story about the rabbit with warts. Vitamin C is acidic and when I gave it to the dog I was aware of this and that is why I gave just a small dose. I just wonder if feeding the rabbit, tomatoes or oranges would help.
