Wart treatment

Question
I have an 11 month old polish doe that has developed a cluster of bumps on her nose.  I think they might be warts.  What could I use to treat them?

Thanks!

Stephanie

Answer
Dear Stephanie,

Without seeing the bumps, I can't tell what they are.  It could be early signs of mange, flea bites, or even rabbit syphilis.  In any case, I would not try *any* treatment without first having the condition properly diagnosed by an experienced rabbit vet:

You can't apply appropriate treatment if you don't even know what the problem is.  

I hope this helps, and that you'll find a good vet who can solve this problem for you.
