Cat Warts

[AnnaLeyah]

Within the last 2 weeks my baby won't let me brush her. She has several warts on her back, they sometimes leak but haven't lately. Do you think that maybe the warts are bugging her? The vet said that they shouldn't be hurting her, but she has shown signs in the past that they bug her every now and again. She normally loves being brushed by the way! So this is relatively new. I'm starting worry about this change.

The warts are pretty small and only noticeable when you look for them.

If they are leaking, they are not warts. This sounds like some kind of skin condition. If she doesn't want you brushing her it's because they are hurting. I would get her back to the vet, or to a new vet for a better, more comprehensive exam.

Sorry, but.......they may well be 'warts'.......more correctly, papillomas. They can 'leak' if disturbed (scratched. bit etc.).

I would really want to have them looked at more carefully.......if I were able to, I'd ask about having her see a Vet dermatologist (or, I'd seek one out myself).

I suggest seeking out a veterinary dermatologist to take a look at the "warts".
