#*Your vet may opt to wait to excise warts until your dog is going under general anesthesia for another reason, since putting a dog under is an extreme measure to put a dog through just to remove warts.<ref>https://ift.tt/38dtXUp>

Your dog will need to go under general anesthesia, but laser ablation attacks warts at the root, and often proves itself to be the most powerful treatment against resistant or recurrent warts.
