From Dogs to Cows: Understanding and Treating Warts on Different Animals

From Dogs to Cows: Understanding and Treating Warts on Different Animals

What are warts?

Warts are a common skin condition in many animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. These small, fleshy growths can appear anywhere on the animal’s body and are usually benign. However, they can cause discomfort, especially if they grow in areas that come into contact with objects or clothing.

What causes warts on animals?

Warts on animals are caused by a virus called papillomavirus. This virus can be spread from animal to animal through direct contact or contact with contaminated surfaces, such as bedding, grooming tools, or food bowls. Young animals and animals with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to papillomavirus infections than healthy adult animals.

Why you might want to get rid of warts on animals

While warts on animals can be harmless, they can often cause discomfort and irritation, especially if they grow in areas that come into contact with objects or clothing. For example, warts on the paws of a dog can cause discomfort when walking, and warts around the mouth of a horse can interfere with eating and drinking.

Additionally, some warts can become infected, leading to a secondary bacterial infection. This can cause redness, swelling, and discharge from the affected area. In rare cases, warts can also turn cancerous, although this is more common in older animals.

How to get rid of warts

Wartsoff Wart Ointment is an over-the-counter product that can be used to remove warts on animals. Wartsoff can remove warts from dogs, horses, cattle, and goats. The ointment contains salicylic acid, which works by softening the skin cells of the wart and allowing them to be easily removed.

To use Wartsoff Wart Ointment, follow these steps:

  1. Clean the affected area with soap and water and dry it thoroughly.
  2. Apply Wartsoff directly on the wart twice daily. Rub in well leaving wart completely covered with Wartsoff.
  3. Apply to teats and udder of dairy cows after milking.
  4. You can cover the wart with a bandage or adhesive tape to keep the ointment in place and to prevent licking of the ointment.
  5. If no benefit is apparent after two weeks of treatment or for warts that grow rapidly, consult a veterinarian.

Celebrating and Maintaining Your Pet’s Oral Health

2023-02-08T23:02:02+00:00

National Pet Dental Health Month: Celebrating and Maintaining Your Pet’s Oral Health

February is National Pet Dental Health Month and it’s the perfect time to focus on the importance of oral health for our pets. Good oral health not only ensures fresher breath but also protects against various diseases and conditions that can affect the overall health of our pets. One way to help maintain good oral health is by using products such as BreathaLyser.

Why is Dental Health Important?

Dental health is important for our pets as it directly affects their overall health and well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to the build-up of plaque and tartar, which can cause gum disease and lead to painful infections in the mouth. Bacteria from infected gums can also spread to other parts of the body, including the heart, liver, and kidneys, causing serious health problems. Maintaining good dental health can also improve your pet’s quality of life, enhance their ability to eat, and maintain good breath. In short, taking care of your pet’s dental health is essential for their overall health and happiness.

How to Maintain Your Pet’s Oral Health

Give them a healthy diet

Providing a balanced diet to your pet is an important factor in maintaining its overall health, including its oral health. A diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help support healthy teeth and gums. Foods that are high in calcium and phosphorus can help strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Additionally, lean protein sources can help support gum health by reducing inflammation.

Schedule regular dental check-ups with your veterinarian

Scheduling regular dental check-ups with your veterinarian is important in maintaining your pet’s oral health and preventing future problems. During these appointments, your vet will examine your pet’s teeth and gums, clean their teeth if necessary, and provide recommendations for at-home dental care.

Keep up with oral health maintenance at home

Regularly checking their teeth and gums for signs of disease and seeking veterinary attention if needed can help prevent painful and potentially serious dental problems.

An easy way to maintain proper oral health care at home is by using BreathaLyser, a line of dental health products that make maintaining your pet’s oral health easy and efficient. BreathaLyser helps freshen breath and reduces sources of halitosis, coming in a water additive, gel, and toothpaste form.

Top Ten Winter Activities To Do With Your Dog

2023-02-08T17:07:16+00:00

Top Ten Winter Activities To Do With Your Dog

 

Winter is here and it’s the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors with your dog. There are plenty of fun winter activities that you can do together. Here are ten of the best winter activities to do with your dog:

  1. Sledding: If you’re lucky enough to have access to a sled, you and your dog can enjoy a fun-filled day of sledding together. Make sure to keep your pet warm and protected from the cold.
  2. Ice Skating: Ice skating is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by dogs and humans alike. Take your pet for a spin on the rink, or if your dog is too small, you can carry them on your lap.
  3. Snowball Fights: A playful snowball fight is a fun way to bond with your pet and enjoy the winter weather. Just make sure to keep the snowballs small so they don’t hurt your pet’s eyes or nose.
  4. Winter Hikes: A brisk winter hike is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the beauty of the winter landscape. Just make sure to bundle up and protect your dog’s paws from the cold.
  5. Doggy Daycare: If you’re looking for a fun way to socialize your dog, consider signing them up for doggy daycare. They’ll get to play with other dogs and burn off some energy, while you enjoy some time to yourself.
  6. Indoor Playtime: If the weather outside is too cold or snowy, you can still enjoy some fun indoor activities with your pet. Try playing fetch in the house, or teach your pet some new tricks.
  7. Movie Night: Stay warm and cozy inside with your pet and enjoy a movie night together. Pick a dog-friendly movie and snuggle up with your dog.
  8. Baking: Bake some homemade treats for your dog and enjoy the process together. You can also give some to your pet’s friends as a gift.
  9. Christmas Light Viewing: Take your dog on a walk to see the Christmas lights in your neighborhood. This is a great way to enjoy the holiday season and share it with your pet.
  10. Winter Photography: Take your pet along on a photography excursion and capture some beautiful winter landscapes together.

No matter what winter activity you choose to do with your pet, remember to always keep them warm and protected from the elements. Pad-Tough is a great tool to protect their paws from snow, cold pavement, and ice melt. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you and your dog can have a great time together this winter.

Breathalyser® – Benefits and Ingredients

2023-01-10T15:22:34+00:00

Breathalyser® Drinking Water Additive – Benefits and Ingredients

Keeping up with oral health isn’t just about good-smelling breath and a nice smile. Bacteria can hide in cavities, loose gums, or in between teeth. Without proper dental maintenance, these bacteria can travel through the bloodstream and spread elsewhere, potentially causing a host of other problems. This is especially important before surgery, as bacteria from the mouth could enter the surgery site and cause life-threatening infections.

Breathalyser® Drinking Water Additive, however, contains Chlorhexidine gluconate, a germicidal disinfectant and antiseptic that kills bacteria and stops it from spreading throughout the body. Chlorhexidine allows Breathalyser® to not only mask bad breath, but to combat bacteria and infection. Using Breathalyser® routinely before surgery is a great way to ensure that oral health is in great condition, and to minimize the risk of infection during surgery.

Along with pre-surgical use, Breathalyser® is an essential part of any pet’s oral care routine. Dentistry is a vastly important component of any veterinary practice, and Breathalyser® is a tried-and-tested tool in the veterinarian’s arsenal. By promoting high-compliance while cutting down on hassle, this solution ensures both higher profits and greater customer satisfaction. As a healthy, pleasant-tasting solution for effective dental hygiene care, Breathalyser® fits into any animal hospital’s dentistry program.

Proud Flesh: Effects and Solutions

Proud Flesh: Effects, Causes, and Solutions

455 Sovereign Court, Ballwin, MO | 888.506.3039 | spatterson@creativesciencellc.com

Proud flesh is a term used to describe excess growth of granulation tissue around a flesh wound. In normal amounts, granulation tissue helps the healing process of a wound, protecting it from infection and helping reduce its size. However, developing too much granulation tissue will prevent the wound from fully healing, leaving it exposed to infection. When left to grow, proud flesh can become tumor-like in appearance.

Proud flesh is more likely to develop on horses than any other animal, and on these horses, it tends to develop most on the lower part of limbs. The American Association of Equine Practitioners has stated several factors for the development of excessive proud flesh: excessive movement of the healing tissue, a reduced blood supply, infection of the wound, and minimal soft tissue coverage around the wound.

Proud flesh is unsightly and dangerous. It can cause disqualification from shows and other activities, while causing the animal a great deal of discomfort. If the proud flesh on a wound becomes too exuberant, surgery may be required to remove it. However, topical ointments such as Proudsoff™ can be used to treat proud flesh before it spreads too far.

By applying a thin layer of Proudsoff™ to the infected area once daily, one can ensure the elimination of excess granulation tissue. Before each application, one should clean the dead tissue and other debris from the lesion. This can be done with soft cotton or gauze. Once the proud flesh is gone, discontinue using the ointment and bandage the wound. Proudsoff™ is not for use on wounds that do not contain proud flesh.

This product did a good job in reducing proud flesh on a hind leg injury and helping the wound to close up and heal. I was very pleased with the results.

Had a yearling colt who had a puncture wound on leg. Vet treated…..while healing, proud flesh was forming. Tried the Proudsoff. Wound is now healing very well, and without the proud flesh. Would recommend and purchase again.
