I would like to know if I can use the medication from Equate, Wart Remover with Salicylic Acid, a fast acting liquid, to remove a wart on my dog’s forehead? The wart looks like a blood blister and is about an eighth of an inch wide. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Miguel,

Without a photo, I am not sure if this is actually a wart. See our page on Dog Warts, https://www.organic-pet-digest.com/dog-warts.html

If you were to use this product and the growth is not a wart, you may cause it to bleed, and possibly either grow larger or spread. I am also concerned that is contains salicylic acid, and if your dog were able to rub his head and lick it, it would cause some serious digestive problems.

If you could send a photo, and some more information about your dog: age, breed, past vaccination history and diet, I could give you some more suggestions on what to do with this growth.

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.
