Our dog Nugget has a few warts {did you know dog's get warts?} and up until now she has left them alone. After playing outside she decided to gnaw at her leg until she bit it open. After that she ate whatever she tore off {eew!} and tried to lick the carpet clean where she was bleeding. {so thoughtful} So I took her outside, got the bleeding to stop and attempted to bandage her leg because I didn't want to take her to the emergency vet at 11 pm. Seemed to work and she left it alone. Well, morning arrived and after her breakfast, breakfast treat and morning doody, tore off the bandage and reopened the wound to the point I couldn't get it to stop bleeding. Luckily our vet opened at 7 and I was able to drop her off to be tended to while I went to work. No stitches were needed and they didn't remove the wart {well, what was left of it} like I was hoping. Instead they bandaged her up and want it to heal on its own. We have to go back in 5 days to see if it worked. I thought for sure she would need at cone around her head to not bother the bandage, but she is leaving it alone. Guess you need to have the vet's touch.
