My new boy has lots of small pin head sized warts on his muzzle and a fairly large cauliflower type one under one nostril  .
Is there anything I can put on them to make them disappear? The cauliflower looks very sore but he doesn't seem bothered about them.
He is 3 1/2 so I am guessing they are teething warts but it's been at least 10 years since I last had youngsters and can't remember any of our others getting them 
Thanks guys,
Lucy

Hi
my boy had these when he came home to me at 2 1/2....we've not had them for about 15 years and he was the first!
I put some witch stick spot treatement on them - and they were gone in about 10 days!

| Some say leave them alone but the homeopathic remedy Thuja is supposed to be good. |

I was going to leave them alone but he likes to give you a snog in the mornings  and I don't know if they are contagious!!  . He has looked very sad when I haven't let him give me a nuzzle or given him his kiss goodbye 
If the witch hazel doesn't work I will give Ainsworths a call and see what they advise.

a lot of younsters get them...as far as l know they are not contagious....but do have a word with your vet if you are concerned, maybe ask about the 'cauliflower' one
the 'baby' warts usually disapear on there own after a while

Star had these when i got him
He had loads round his muzzle eyes and a large one on his nose as well,i was told to put iodine on them or bazuka that verrucas. I tried the iodine the most i put it on twice a day and within two weeks they had gone The large one took a bit longer but i used to itch it for him and bits would come off every time i did it then one day it just fell off and it never came back |

My sons pony got them.. the worse i have ever seen ..
will did pics out later
Vet called them grass warts and said just leave them and they will go on their own, i should have done !!
as it was show season!! i decided i would try camrosa after speaking to the people as saw advert in H&H..
What a mistake!! they lasted about 4 months and are not contagious..
Just leave them is my advice!!
They bled terrible with the camrosa..
Going by dates on pics its 5 weeks difference!! thought was a lot longer.. all gone about 6 to 8 weeks later..
I personnally dont like camrosa and the effects it seems to have on 3 horses i know.. 2 mine and a friends..

| Pretty! o.k. don't laugh but this really works - every day rub the inside of a banana skin on the warty bits. They are full of potasium. I have used this method on 2 lots of nose warts and also warts on the sheath!!! Good luck. |

I tried that it didnt work for above pony as you can see!!
Also gypsy rubbed her nose with some coin that dint work either!!
I was told to use basuka as someone above has mentioned but vet advised against it as a different type of fungi ?
So maybe what works for some great others just stubborn warts!!
If another youngster of mine got them now which could happen next show season!! i would leave them to go on their own ..

We had a coloured colt that got lots and lots of warts around his muzzle and some big ones too we tried lots of different treatments but they didn't work infact seems to make more appear.
So we tried neat hibiscrub in a morning rubbed all over the area and then plastered sudocrem on in the evening and within 1 week they were all gone never to be seen again.

i have never had a horse with warts....but my son had a veruka that lasted about 2 1/2 yrs, we tried everything we could, but nothing shifted it....A friend recommeded Thuja, (you would need to check that it is safe for horses)
He took one a day, and it went completly within couple of weeks.
he carried on taking thuja for another month to make sure that it wouldn't return |

Your Vet is right.....muzzle warts on youngsters are called `baby` or `grass warts`......and left well alone, will just disappear...sometimes as quickly as they came. Over the years we have experienced them at times....usually seem to appear between eighteen months and three years and have just left well alone. Warts have always cleared up completely within a week or two, and never ever
returned.

Thanks everyone
Good to know that they're not contagious - can get back to snogging him now .
The vet will be coming out some time next week to do a DNA test on him (long complicated story  but should have a happy ending, fingers crossed) so will ask about the "cauliflower" at the same time.

Hi,,
My youngster had them about a month ago,
Vet came and we scoured the field and found some St johns Wort right in the top corner of the field.
She said it was more than likly that so i pulled it up and check daily now.
just a thought but have you checked your field?

He had them when he arrived so I don't think it is anything in the field, none of the others have caught them or started with them which is what made me think they were teething warts but I will check.
Thanks,

Aloe vera gelly. Anti fungal/antiseptic/healing etc. etc.
