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.

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.

Hello, my name is Sharon and our first basenji was a female tri named Sheena. She lived to the ripe old age of 14 and finally succumbed to Fanconis. We received our current basenji, Ben, from Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRAT) at the age of 6. He is now 12, but suffering from warts. We are working on this with him. Ben lives with three cats–all strays--Mila, Sarah, and Isabella, for whom he has a high tolerance. He likes Mila, who was Sheena's "puppy" when Mila first came to us as a small kitten.
