Anyone ever dealt with a dog that had a wart or warts? What was the treatment if any? Cause for the wart?
My Silver lab developed a wart on the tip of his ear here in the past month. Well, I think it is a wart. I have an appointment with the vet next week to make sure it is nothing worry about.
I have read that it is probably a benign wart that could have been caused by a cut he had in his skin. My dog had a cut on each of his ears from playing with other dogs and rough housing. Nothing bad, just little nicks. About a month after the cuts healed up, this wart popped up. It has grown quite a bit and looks really scaly. Good thing is the wart doesn't really seem to bother him, but he's an active lab and I train with him outside so I'm afraid he's going to rip it off one day. And it will be a mess.
I believe my lab has a pretty weak immune system because he tends to have a pretty thin coat, sometimes some dry flaky skin (pending on what time of year), and a yeast infection in one of his ears is a constant battle. Could be a diet thing, but he eats pretty good food. (Victor Performance)
Thoughts? Things I can try?
Thanks!
