Grass warts?

[Leighb]

Little coblet seems to be developing grass warts on the right size of his muzzle!

Is there anything I can put on to give them a helping hand to disappear or is it just a matter of waiting?

Ill try and get a pic tomorrow!
He's had them for about a month and a bit.

I personally wouldn't put anything on them. You usually see them on youngsters, and they tend to disappear by themselves.

However I had an older mare get them last winter, and when the Vet was out I enquired as to whether there was anything to be done to them. She advised to leave well along, and they did go within a month.

Obviously if they start multiplying at speed, or are bleeding ask your Vet for advice.

twist them of til they bleed then leave alone! the body will fight them by themselve!

Just leave them alone - they are juvenile warts and as the young horse's immune sytem matures they will miraculously disappear. If you faff about trying to pull them off (ye gods, would YOU want that done?) you risk causing scars.

Someone told me to put toothpaste on?
I don't like the idea of pulling/twisting them...Urgh!

Just leave them, they'll go on their own in a couple of months. Juvenile warts-haha! My 14 year old caught them from my yearling, guess he didn't have them when he was young.
