How do i treat a dog wort?

Question

My pug has a wort on his back the size of a nickle. Can i freeze it off?

Answer 1

No.  Don't freeze it.  It may not be a wart.  It could be a sebaceous cyst or some other type of growth/tumor.  Have your vet remove it.  

Answer 2

You should talk to your vet. My vet said that they are not messed with unless the dog is put under anesthesia for another reason (like a spay) because they have to be cut off. Your dog may have a different type of wart or your vet may have a different opinion on this. My dog was also extremely old. (16 yrs).

Answer 3

You could treat dog wort with wolfsbane.  

Answer 4

how old is your dog? a young dog may indeed have a wart which are not often problematic and generally can just be brought to the attention of your veterinarian. In older dogs wart-like growths develop as dogs age and are usually benign skin tumors that can be completely excised and therein cured (i.e. won't grow back in that spot). While you're deciding what the growth is, and what you want to do about it, at the very least measure it and note the size on the calendar and look for any other growths of the same type.  

Answer 5

You should take the dog into the vet and have it checked, as it may not be a wart at all.  You should have a biopsy done also to rule out cancer.  Don't ever try to "remove" any kind of growth from your dog as you could cause serious damage to your dog.  Take him to the vet.

Answer 6

Do you mean wart?

Only a veterinarian can do this.
