Wart on outside of dog’s ear

Hi Kat,
YES, I agree with your assessment. This growth is a wart. It is NOT contagious. It has developed in response to the vaccinations that were given back in April. Or possibly due to the cumulative effect of all the vaccines that he has had over his lifetime.

What needs to be done is to BOOST his immune system which has been ‘impaired’ by the vaccines. In holistic medicine, this condition is called, ‘vaccinosis’.

Here’s the plan:

1. Improve his DIET. NO MORE DRY DOG FOOD! See our page on 10 Best Dog Food options and consider a gradual transition to a canned or even a RAW food diet for him.

2. No more toxic flea/tick products. Use EVOLV made from cedar oil.

3. NO MORE VACCINATIONS! Seek the help of a holistic veterinarian to write an exemption form for him when his Rabies vaccination is due. (Which should be in 3 years, 4/2015)

Check out this info from Current Veterinary Therapy XI, from 1992.

4. Homeopathic Remedy THUYA 12c. It is given orally. You can give it to him by dry pellet, one pellet by mouth two times daily. Or dissolve one pellet into 2oz of Spring Water, and give it by eye dropper, TWO times daily for the next 6 weeks.

It might be best to have a holistic veterinarian available to monitor the progress. In some cases, the wart may get ‘worse’ before it gets better, or NEW warts may appear. Adjusting to a less frequent dosage, or increasing the potency, or needing to switch to a different remedy, are best determined by a veterinarian ‘in person’ to manage the case, depending on your dog’s response.

Vitamin E oil for warts is beneficial for decreasing scar formation, and promoting healthy skin. So, if you wish to try it in combination with all of my other suggestions, that would be fine.

Hi Kat,
Here is the rest of my response.

There are numerous immune system supplements that can be added to the diet. But, I believe, it would be best to start with the above ‘plan’, and see how your dog responds!

My almost 14 yr old brittany/springer spaniel had a large wart on her left ear. I read somewhere to cover the wart with clear nailpolish to block air to the wart so the virus would die. I decided to spray the wart with liquid bandaid instead. It made a small matted mess but I left it anyway for about 2.5 weeks. I then gently washed her ear with dog shampoo, rinsed several times. I then combed lightly around the wart and was pleasantly surprised when the wart came off with a small clump of fur. I cleaned the small wound area with antiseptic and am keeping it clean and watching in carefully.

Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for your comments on the successful treatment of your own dog’s wart. Although, in an older dog, the warts are not due to a virus.

See our page on Dog Warts, https://www.organic-pet-digest.com/dog-warts.html.

It is hard to say, but possibly, in your case, your dog’s wart may have gone away on its own, without any treatment at all! It it returns, you may wish to seek the help of a holistic veterinarian.

I believe my lab also has a wart. It is raised and black in color. I just noticed she must have scratched it and I just cleaned the blood up. The rag had quite a bit o fresh blood but it appears to have clotted. We do not have a wholistic vet in this city. She was a seeing eye dog and faithfully got her shots each yr. she moved in with me 4 yrs ago after my brother left for heaven and has not received any shots since as I have read the AVA’s take on the dangers of vaccines every yr. (by law I should have given rabies… But have not followed thru w/ those either.) any help is greatly appreciated!
