What to do for my senior dog's bleeding ear wart that won't heal?

Question

My cocker spaniel is 11 years & 2 years ago had a couple of warts removed to check if cancerous. They weren't and she has several more but at her last check up in June I was told they were ok and normal. However one on her ear bleed when she went to be groomed. Since then it's got very sore looking and keeps bleeding. I bathed it with salty water to prevent it becoming infected. Any advice on what else I can do. My vets are a car ride away and my daughter is away at present so cannot get there. Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Female | spayed | 11 years and 1 month old | 33 lbs

It is very common for older, small breed dogs to get these benign warts. I usually only recommend removal if they are causing issues (like this one). If you can't get it to heal you may have to have it surgically removed. I suggest you order this wound spray to put on it. Use as directed. If no improvement, have your vet check it out.
