I have a buck that looks like he has a mole on his face is that how the warts look? What is the best way to treat them?
Send a higher resolution pic. You could be dealing with elaeophora shneiderii. It is a parasite like heart worms in dogs that effect the carotid arteries and vasculature of the head and is easily treated with ivomec at 4 cc per 100 lbs SQ and repeated in 2-3 weeks. We see it from time to time down here in Texas. good luck and God bless
Those are warts. Leave thjem alone. They will get larger, but will eventually fall off on their own.
They do look like warts. Papilloma virus. Some folks like to vaccinate with a wart vaccine out of COlorado Serum Company. Others leave them alone to fall off eventually. Some prefer surgical removal as not to cause problems if they continue to grow into important structures, such as the eyes. Contact you local veterinarian for further evaluation. I have seen individuals tie the warts off at the bases with dental floss to decrease blood flow to the warts causing them to fall off. I have discovered these to be contagious to other deer. Good luck and God bless
