So my 4 year old gelding has a wart in the right hand corner of his mouth where the bit rides. The last 2 weeks it has gotten big enough that it bothers him with a bit when I ride him. I know they eventually fall off but is there anything I can put on it to speed up the process or should I call the vet and have it removed???

I would just let it run its course and let it fall off on its own time. Can you ride your horse in a light hack for awhile untill that nasy ole wart faals off?

The warts are a sign of a weakened immune system. I'd try some AE Immune booster or something similar.
Along with that, you can dab some Kopertox on the ones that are where the bit goes .

Here's your $1.98 cure for warts on horses. Castor Oil (available in wal-mart or any drug store by the laxatives). I've used this method since i was a kid. The virus can't live in the oil, works pretty fast, too. Apply a couple of times a day and you'll be amazed!

I rarely post because im a lurker but I ahd to let you know that this will work. take some scissors and clip a few of the warts off and even make it bleed a little. it stimulates an imune response and they will be gone in only a day or two. old timers would add that you feed it to them but Ive jsut clipped a few off and its a real life mistery but it works!

We had a friend do this with my mare's only colt---she used pliers and squeezed them til they bled and they were gone before long. I'd never heard of it, but after that Sean's big Paint got a couple between his back legs and he did it, and before long they were gone also. Dangdest thing I ever saw!
