Cutaneous Horn (bleeugh)- anyone else's dog got/had one?

[Spiderwithoneeye]

Our dog has one on his tail. Has anyone else experienced this and have you had it treated?

Yes, my collie cross had one of these on his tail. It would grow and then break off every so often. It never bothered him so we never treated it (on the advice of our vet). I found it a bit disgusting at first but he had it for 10+ years so I got used to it.

Thanks landoflove, must be a collie thing. Don't want to fork out large consultation fee just to be told we don't need to do anything!
