Warts?...Tumors?

[fatslinger]

All 4 feet are covered in white bumps. Are these warts, tumors or birthmarks?  Otherwise, it seems to be a healthy beaver. Would you skin it or bury it? I'm pretty sure it won't bother me after I cut the feet off.

I've seen that before, not sure what causes it. I always skinned them.

Never seen it here.

Looks like there might be a few on his tail, too.  From some kind of pollution in the water? 

Do they glow in the dark?

If someone took a bite out your tail you'd probably be a little white knuckled yourself!

I'd skin, of course I wear gloves too. Seen similar marks on a few like that before, maybe not as wide spread though. I once caught one where all the fur was coming off the belly if you rubbed it. Mind you I was doing a 48 hr check and it was single digits in the day even. Needless to say, pitched in brush and my gaunlets were washed thoroughly.

I would guess viral warts.  The diagnostic lab at WSU would probably like a tissue sample.

Good idea. I will call tomorrow to see if they are interested. Remember when we used to send blood samples to USDA (?) for their Plague study?

   Either the veterinary lab at WSU, or get someone from WDFG to look at it.  Might be more seious than you would think...
