[QUOTE="tmr222, post: 1699574, member: 41747"] We’ve had several bad cases of warts in the last few years. Way worse than this animal. Some look like dark icicles hanging off the heifer. Truly disgusting stuff. We tend to treat depending on what the animal is being used for. If it’s been sold, and we just noticed the issue, I’ll inform the buyer, then we inoculate, pull off as many as possible, and spray with formaline (sp?). If it’s staying as a replacement heifer, we generally let time do it’s thing. If they are on the udder, we usually pull them off well before calving, so baby can latch on. If it’s near the eye, we have the vet come and remove it (usually with a stitch or two). We have been told of the “homemade vaccine” by our local vet, but haven’t had one recently to try it on. I believe it works better than the regular vaccine, because it targets the particular variation of the virus each animal has contracted. We had no luck with the regular vaccine (which is why our local vet suggested the homemade version) [/QUOTE]
