hello, 4 1/2 year old doe, got two warts one above eye and one on chin about a year ago, now starting to see others on legs...very healthy......two other deer in with her no warts......

vet says knock her out and cut them off........

any thoughts here as to why she has them and what I can do to make them go away?

thanks in advance for your thoughts

I also had a few deer with warts this last year. When we sedated them for LAP AI I cut them off just because I hate to waste any sedation. Sometimes we also cut hoofs. The warts usually fall off by themselves in about a year. I had some big ones this year and we banded them which cut off the blood supply and they also just fell off. They also make a wart vaccine for cattle which I have used that did seem to immune them and we did let the warts just fall off then. It took about three weeks. Warts are funny as I have 180 head of deer and only three had warts. They look bad but seem to cause no serious problems if there not all over the body.

We have had warts on a few deer over the years and they have always eventually fallen off. I personally would never sedate a deer unless I had to.

I had a buck a few years ago that would get warts and loose em over time, my vet recommended a wart vaccine. dosed him once with it he never had a problem again. something to try if I remember right it was dirt cheap. good luck
