Guest greyhoundgirl1 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) I have been researching seed warts on Greytalk because I think that is what my grey has. It's not on the pad but behind the toe near the webbing. Long and cauliflower looking. I don't know how to post the pic of it on my grey or I'd do so. It seems that any photo of a seed wart is missing from Greytalk and there isn't any in the book The Care of Greyhounds either. My vet has squeezed it out a couple of times but it has returned. I'd like to suggest the bleach method to my vet that was suggested here, but I would like to show my vet a a photo. Edited January 18, 2010 by greyhoundgirl1 Quote

Guest GreysAndMoreGreys Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I'll check with our trainer and ask him next time one of the racers has a seed wart to get a photo of it. I know I don't have one right now. I do know that if it is a seed wart you have to squeeze the thing pretty dang hard to make sure you get all the "stuff" out. Normally they bleed pretty good as well. I just called our trainer to ask what sort of product he puts on them after he squeezes the stuff out and he said that you have to wait until the bleeding stops and then he puts on Tea Tree oil. Oh and he said that the stuff that comes out should look like brains Gotta love JT Quote
Chicocat Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Here's the picture: If the vet is getting all of the seeds out it shouldn't come back. At least, I've not seen any that did. Quote Ann
Guest GreysAndMoreGreys Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 OK Ann has a photo very cool Quote

Guest TheDoggfather Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) bah... I hate seed warts. And it's just as Heather explained... brains. I'd suggest muzzling your dog if your vet REALLY wants to get the whole thing out of there. If s/he doesn't, then it'll continue to come back again and again.
