brandimom Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My half pint greyhound, Mariah, has plantar warts. The rescue group had them surgically removed (maybe 6) and only two have reappeared. Wondering if anyone has tried any home remedies. Been doing some research and I found the following: use crushed garlic twice a day and cover the foot, use banana peel and try and adhere it to the pad, basil plant - tear off leaf and rub it on the wart or use basil essential oil, thuja (this is what we have been doing and we give her three little pills per day), thuja tincture mixed with oil and rub on warts, dandelion plant - rub on wart. Right now when it gets too painful for her to walk we dremel them down. Has anyone tried any of the above remedies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdogs Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I haven't tried those but did try bee propolis & (separately) abreva. Have you given those a try?

brandimom Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 No I have not tried those but adding them to my list. Thanks. I haven't tried those but did try bee propolis & (separately) abreva. Have you given those a try? Did you see any difference by using them?

GeorgeofNE Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I happen to have plantars warts--got them as a child. Nothing worked. I think they were killed (stopped growing) when I was a kid, but they're still on my foot-- I would not recommend it, but my pediatrician had me soak my heal in formaldahyde twice a day!!!

Have you given those a try? Did you see any difference by using them? I didn't but my boy has corns. Nothing has worked so far. Although I just had a brainstorm - gonna look up black salve. Can't be more destructive than surgery (which he's also had). And I too had a plantar wart - podiatrist froze it off. Never did return....
