Treatment for warty/horny growth on back...papilloma virus?

The best information I can provide can be found on this web site:

Don't be thrown by the fact that it is a "Jackalope" web site... just scroll down the page to the article titled "JACKALOPES: HORN-LIKE GROWTHS ON RABBITS AND HARES IS A REAL DISEASE." It's about the Shope papillomavirus in rabbits.
Unfortunately, no "cure" is mentioned, since they're still pursuing the actual causes of this disease.
Several years ago, I had a doe develop one of these on her spine and measuring about 2 inches in height. I proceeded to carefully remove it, whereupon it just "fell off" leaving a patch of smooth skin and no blood. It never returned, so I never thought any more of it.
I hope this helps.

Took the rabbit to the vet as it was my son's pet mini-rex, and it turned out to be an abcess the size of a quarter under the skin! 
Surgery removed the whole mass, leaving a pretty bald bunny with stitches. So much for my diagnosis!
Just thought I would let you know! Andrea
