Abstract

Canine papillomatosis is an infectious-contagious pathology caused by the species-specific papillomavirus, characterized by benign neoformations, which can be manifested in the oral cavity, genital tract, lips, pharynx and esophagus. Sometimes, papillomas may occur in the plantar cushion and as a cutaneous disease. Disease transmission occurs by direct or indirect contact with secretions or blood from papillomas present in infected animals. Diagnosis is based on clinical and histopathological examinations. This study aims to report on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in association with autohemotherapy for treating a 4-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier male dog diagnosed with oral papillomatosis. The treatment protocol was based on the exclusive use of the homeopathic drugs Kali sulphuricum, Thuya occidentalis and Acidum nitricum, associated with autohemotherapy. Complete remission of the papillomas occurred 30 days after treatment initiation, and the medication was maintained for six months to prevent recurrence. In conclusion, homeopathy and autohemotherapy can reorganize defense cells, providing the body with evident clinical improvement.
