An outbreak........

McBunz · An outbreak........

I have got warts on last yrs. babies.. Never had warts before. Has anyone had an sucessful treatment for these or do you just let it run its
self out..

I had warts of 2 fillies i was gloing to show about 4 years ago. I used the human wart remover. Can't remember the name but it is a liquid that you apply with a dropper. Took about 5 days to get rid of them Do NOT use it if close to an eye though. It takes a few seconds to dry when you put it on.

But Jeffers, and i bet others too, sell a product called Warts Off for equine and cattle.

Icky things aren't they.

Betty B

I should add that mine had them on their muzzle. Small little ones.

And i am sure you realize that they can become huge and be in the ears too. For that of course you should consult a Vet but i am confident that you know that.

McBunz

Been forking a huge round bale out of the way today, into a stall. Then I can
corner each one where they can't move behind a gate and treat the warts.
Slow going. Going to take another day to get ready..

IZZY

Quick when they wanna be eh?

McBunz

I just want to make sure I am getting it where I am aiming..

Joyce

Will they go away on their own or can they get worse first? One of mine had a couple when they were young, they spread to a couple more but then fell off went away on their own.

Betty B

I think that most often they will go away on their own but sometimes they spread to nasty areas too. It is a virus that attacks the younger horses mainly.

Kind of like when teenagers get zits....

So, how did it all go?

McBunz

Haven't done it yet..Spent yesterday moving more hay out of the way and cleaning the barn.. Now the big center gate can move either way to catch
and crowd the little guys.

IZZY

Things sometimes don't go as fast are we want eh?....I've been wanting to get working outside in the yard, and geting things ready to bring Coors home, got all my quotes on supplies, but I woke up this morning to snow

Joyce

Oh Well I woke up this morning to a warm spring like breeze
It was awful!!

Now I can't get anything done because it's too nice out to waste on getting things done

McBunz

Sure now I have company coming for the weekend..

Have to clean
the darn house..

Well she can help hold warty foals ... Prob. tomorrow now.. Snow flurries here too.. Just a touch so far.

Joyce

Maybe it will just be a flurry or two. Good time to take care of your warts Adie. Don't want them to spread.

You'll have help

IZZY

wheeewww.....the sun is comming out now, snow is melting

Still a bit cold, I'll wait a couple hours to go out, let things dry up a bit..
....good time to spring clean though...

Scrub bathroom......check

IZZY

OH!....spoke too soon, it's snowing again

I have had them hit my horses a few times, both big horses and minis. One of the best things to do, is pinch off or crush one wart on each horse...and the body will build-up antibodies and rid itself of the rest. Sounds gross, but they don't feel it if you crush just the wart...it will bleed lots though.

It hasn't STOPPED snowing here. Criky...I feel like I am stuck in a well-shaken snowglobe...when WILL it end??

McBunz

IZZY

How's the battle going Addie? Are ya staying in today?

IZZY

Sent it your way alright.....it went over the mountains towards you, and now it's snowing here
