My goat has a wart

[TheHappyHen21]

My altered male goat has a single wart on his face, not on his nose but before his nose on his face. I looked up warts and it don't look like the ones online. Any home remedies I can use?

A picture would help. Cattle occasionally get warts but I don't know if they affect goats or not. Warts in cattle are caused by a virus. They look unsightly but they slough off after a period of time.

That speck on his face is it

It doesn't look like the warts cattle get What does it feel like? Is it a flat area? One thing you can try that can't possibly hurt is to spray the area with BluKote. If it is due to a fungus, the BluKote will take care of it. At any rate, with BluKote the worst that can happen is nothing. If it is due to a fungus, it should be gone in a week or two at the most.If it is still there and getting bigger you will have to try something else. But try the BluKote first.

will redkote work? I have that, its raised, and bumpy feeling.

No. It won't hurt though. Redkote is fine for wounds and to promote healing. Blukote is a fungicide, among other things.I suggested blukote because there is a possibility that the lesion you pictured is caused by a fungus. If it is, the blukote will take care of it but the redkote won't. I am making the assumption that the lesion is the result of a fungus. It may not be. I would use the blukote and see what happens. If it doesn't you will have to try something else. The blukote is a good first step. Do you have strong iodine on hand? That is a fungicide also.
