White Pimple on tongue

Am alittle concerned and will be taking Mush to the Vet on Monday, but was just wondering if anyone else has encountered something like this. It's a small white pimple like thing that's kinda hard and almost right in the middle of Mush's tongue. Doesn't seem to bother her, and she's had it for a little while, but it's starting to make me nervous. Anyone?

Mush's tongue

Gee, I hope that's what it is, but she's not exactly a puppy. She's around 3 now. Do they still get the warts at that age? Thanks

They tend to get warts as they get older. One of those things that comes with age! Austin has a few.

Rocky has a wart on his tongue. It doesn't seem to be bothering him either, but the vet said we could get it removed when we neuter him, so that is what we are going to do because it looks pretty ugly.

Wart

My Joe had one on his lip when he was just under 3, and it grew pretty fast. It was making it hard for him to eat actually, so we brought him in. We had it removed and tested and it was indeed a wart. Charlie got one shortly after Joe's was removed but his went away on its own. I guess they are common, but better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully its just a wart in your case too
