white bump on tongue?

[sagelfn]

I will be taking him to the vet tomorrow but do you guys have any ideas at what this could be?

At first I thought he bit his tongue playing frisbee or something, but this spot has been there for about a week now. I don't think its gotten any bigger or smaller. It felt hard when I touched it and it didn't seem to hurt him. He's been eating normal and drinking normal. Playing normal. He doesn't act like it bothers him at all. He still wants to catch things, chew, give kisses...acting normal. Poop looks normal too.

in case this shows up in search, we went to the vet today. It is Papillomas

Brandi,

What did the vet say about the papillomas? Causes/Treatment? I think my dog might have it as well; on his tongue.

if they spread, which usually they do and get to the point where its hard for the dog to eat or is causing pain etc... then they can remove them and give antibiotics. They usually go away on their own. You should still have a vet look at it.

Did the vet say what causes them?

[sagelfn]

its a virus mostly seen in young dogs and puppies.

In the last week he's had multiple warts pop up, before that he just had the one wart

I am starting him on Ester-C to try and boost his immune system
