It's common in pups. They usually catch it from sharing water bowls/spit with infected dogs. They drop off by themselves after a few weeks. Search for Papilloma. My girl got them at about 6mo, about 4 warts, (one on her tongue which was gross) they all fell off by themselves. It was kind of gross during the time she had them but she cleared up perfectly. I don't believe there is much the vet can do. My vet said they could remove them but did not recommend to bother/pay as they will fall off by themselves.
