Our BRAT

[mldawson]

Welcome Sharon and Ben. Our Gracie who is a BRAT loves "her" cat, Kamicko. They love the "I chase you, you chase me game". After a good romp they will curl up together for a much deserved nap.

Has anyone had an issue with warts? Ben has numerous warts. He had surgery several time to remove them, but they keep coming back. Now, at the age of 12, we aren't going to worry about them, but treat them with a topical medication. He eats Purina One lamb and rice along with yogurt in the morning and pumpkin (when we can get it!), a tablespoon of Iams wet dogfood, and carrots in the evening. He's otherwise very healthy. Thanks.

hi Sharon - a big 'WELCOME' to you and your clan!

[Patty]

Jewel has had a wart on her elbow for about three years. We have never treated it because of her age and as she only has one. She suffers no effects from it and so we leave well alone.

How do you treat Ben's topically? I have been tokld that Thuja tincture is good. I'd be interested in any responses to your post.

[SharonG]

Ben has numerous warts on the underside of his body. The vet gave us some topical ointment and a friend of ours, who has horses, recommended Compound W and Castor Oil. She had used both effectively on her horses.

Than you SharonG. I'll try my local horse supply trader. Fortunately Jewel only has the one but it's in a vulnerable position especially as she's getting
a bit wobbly nowadays.
