So our Shihtzu-Bichon cross is nearly 10 years old. Don’t want to jinx it bless her but in every way she’s like a puppy (gait, energy, appetite, movement).
Anyway, since she was 6/7 she’s had a wart (cauliflower-like, pink) where her hind leg joins her torso. Various vets have seen it as advice has ranged from “bathe in saline water” to “put under GA and remove if you wish”.
It doesn’t do much but on occasion she will bother it/lick it. Then months go by nothing and then again.
I’ll be honest - after 4 years of living with said wart, I am hesitant to put a nearly 10 year old dog under GA. But it does look like she likes bothering it from time to time.
What should we do? Is there any wart removing cream for dogs we should try? There’s one on Amazon or a thuja cream or is it all just snake oil?
She is perfect weight by the way (7 kilos), and remarkably feisty, eats Grainfree dry food (and whatever kids will feed her) and eats 1 or 2 sprats a day as a treat. No other issues.
I sway between yes do GA and get rid and no ignore and try a cream…
