[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 678326, member: 968"] First - did the vet give you health papers to show or not??? Can't believe a vet didn't KNOW if it was warts or not - and any vet should also know to CUT THEM OFF. If the one is too close to the eye to cut, she should have burned it off with an acid on a q-tip, but unless it is right on the edge of the eyelid, you should be able to cut it off. We show cattle, and no, you cannot (in New York) show cattle with warts, but even freshly cut that day, vets at the show don't have a problem with you doing that - just so they do not SEE any warts on the animal - small open wound or scab is not a problem. Just grab the wart between your fingers & slightly pull it away from the body, use sharp scissors & cut it low enough to get skin around the wart. We do this all the time. There is a vaccine, but there are soooo many varieties of warts, the vaccine is usually pretty useless - and it sure wouldn't help you now. It's for prevention. Getting it to bleed is what will trigger the body to build up a resistance to them. Old timers used to cut it off & feed it to them. [/QUOTE]
