Warts

[Seahorse]

Axel has several small warts around his mouth, I am hoping they won't get any bigger but does anyone know if I can buy human wart removing stuff and put that on them?

thanks

You can put thuja tincture on (homeoepathic) but I would only do that if they are smooth warts not broken or cracked or bleeding. Otherwise it seems to P the hell out of them!!

Leave them be - they are quite common in horses and just disappear very suddenly. They are not the same as human warts.

If he is a baby, they normally get them around 18 months, 2 years. We treat them like teenage spots - they normally go on their own.

Agree with Sparklet, they will fall off in there own time so i would leave them.

My horse had one on his nose when i first got him, it got a bit bigger and then dropped off and hasn't come back since (2years later).

Leave them. I bought a foal who was covered in them around her muzzel and they just naturally drop off. I got my vet to come to give an opinion to put my mind at rest and was told to absolutely do nothing with them - and its worked.

At the time I was most concerned as they were terrible and I was worried in case they could be passed to my other two.

My friends horse had loads around his mouth at the age of 2. By 3 they had all fell off not one in sight!!
