Online published on 5 November, 2018. Abstract The study was conducted to evaluate efficacy of Lithium antimony thiomalate on bovine and canine papillomatosis. A total of nineteen (19) cattle and eleven (11) dogs were enrolled for the study. In cattle, lesions were majorly observed on teats and udder, over frontal and muzzle region and occasionally over ventral and dorsal aspect of abdomen. Whereas in dogs, the cauliflower like growths or warts of varied sizes (5-10mm) were present on multiple sites including skin of face, periocular region, ventral mandibular region, muco-cutaneous junction of upper and lower lip and on dorsal and ventral aspects of tongue. Amongst the treated cattle, none of the animals showed complete wart regression indicating lowered efficacy of Anthiomaline in bovine papillomatosis. In canine papillomatosis, the efficacy was highly encouraging among all treated dogs with complete clinical recovery within 3–4 weeks indicating 100 percent results.
