What is a skin tag with Dr. Susan McMillan

You are listening to Bark & Wag's 15 Minute Vet Talk and I am your host Polly ReQua Today we are talking with Dr. Susan McMillan, owner of Vet to Pet Mobile Veterinary Service, in Burlington, Vermont about skin tags. What are they? Skin tags are tiny, soft skin growths that can appear anywhere on a dog's body. Also called fibropapillomas, fibrin tags, dog warts, skin polyp, and achrochordons, skin tags are fleshy growths on the skin that are about a few millimeters in length. Some growths are round while others are flat and stalk-like.
