Teat warts and other stuff

[Mealman1]

Noticed this 'growth' on in calf heifer teat yesterday. She's one month off calving. Can anyone tell me what this is and can it be treated/cured/fixed?

Sorry the pictures not great - seems to be a ball like growth attached at teat end??

Get the vet on it as soon as possible. We had one very similar twoyears ago and getting the vet in Put her right and she had time to heal before calving

As above, sort these issues when they are heifers and well before the udder starts to do it's thing.

If the join is thick enough put on a lamb castration ring or two. By calving all will be sorted and no cutting involved.

Does she have any other warts on her at all or is this the only growth?

If she is covered in warts, then as above a castration ring.
If it's the only growth then I think I would want the vet to pass judgement.

We have a few incalf hfrs like this currently, vet couldn't really advise much as it's so close the the teat end, mine also have angleberry? type warts/growths under the bellies. Very annoying

Got a heifer milking teats became plastered in warts until they just looked crusty
Treated her with thuja pills twice a day for 2 wks
Making progress now but takes about 3 months to work
Its been touch and go whether we parted company or not
May be able to put in water tanks for non milkers not sure if it would work on angle Berry's as haven't seen them since I was a kid

There’s a moment in Ep 7, in which Agatha asks the boys and Wanda to look at a mole on her back, I’m pretty sure this is a reference to the concept of a witch’s teat.
