How to remove warts from a four year old filly?

I am not sure about on horses but for cattle there is a vaccine that can be given that causes an immune response and makes the warts go away and not come back. Also I have heard with cattle you can feed them the warts and they won't come back, or you can take a pair of pliers and squeeze and twist the wart until it bleeds, somehow this makes them go away and not come back--I think it looks painful and won't do it on my animals. Just a few suggestions.

Your filly could use at least 150 pounds and not even be close to fat. She doesn't have a slender build, she's UNDERWEIGHT. It's doubtful she'd rate above 61/2 on the Hemmeke scale. My 10 month old colt is 14h and his contours indicate that he's wormed and fed. He's at a 9 on that scale The Hemmeke Scale is what horse body condition is judged by. 10 is obese, 9 is normal, 1 is emaciated, near death. To the comments on prominent withers, she's underweight and probably hasn't seen regular worming in four years. Maybe that's why her coat is drab and dull... You need a farrier with a hoof gauge and get her feet at the correct angles, that alone will help keep her sound into the future. Correctly trimmed, she should be straighter in the front and rear legs. She's a bit straight in the shoulder, nothing serious. Her hip could be better but you've got what you've got. Her hind quarters will be a lot more attractive when she's up to her correct weight. Her neck will look better for the same reason. Her back is good, her croup could be a little better. She's an Appaloosa, she's not supposed to look like a QH, regardless of what you may hear to the contrary. When she's properly fed and can be exercised to build muscle tone, she will look much better overall. Have I mentioned, she's underweight, not slender built. She might also get a bit taller, correct nutrition will do that. Is this filly registered?

Okay I really hope that you haven't done any of the things that these people suggested. If your horse has warts this is a common thing, but you need to let it just heal up on its own. We had a horse at my barn with warts and the vet said that the best thing to do was to just let it clear up, that there could be bad effects from trying other ways of removing the warts. The most important thing to do is to make sure your horse doesn't pass it on to other horses. So no using the same brushes, or petting him and then petting other horses. Just keep him away from other horse until they clear up, and don't mess with them.

Hey,

Dont worry my 3yo gelding had them bout 2months ago. We got him some human wart remover but we ended up useing it for only 1 week maybe, but it goes away by its self after about 4-5 months. But if you think its bad just ring your vet.

Good Luck

Some warts are caused by trauma to the nose and will fall off. Other warts may fall off too or you can have them surgically removed or frozen off

It happens and there is no real need for concern. Usually they will fall off on their own. If you are really concerned or if there are TONS of warts, I would give my vet a call. They can give you a quick answer over the phone.

dont they have those wart strips for humans...Will those work on a horse or are they just too big.

Im thinking the only other way is I think dry ice. I think thats what doctors use.

I always pick them off...I've heard of using "milkweed" on them, but of course, it's the wrong time of year for that. Just pick them off...they'll go away!
