Default White Zit thingy on Gums

Ok I have read many postings about these things that say to put peppermint oil in the thing and it will go away. It has been a few weeks now Bea still hates the peppermint oil and it is getting bigger. Does anyone have a photo? I can get one up if it helps, It has a red base goes to white and then the tip is kinda jagged or cratery kinda looks like a planters wart.

Any suggestions to make it go away? Does it bother her?

I used peppermint oil on memphis too. but only a hand-full of times. He hated it too. ive heard crush the wart and their immune systems will respond to it. Personally, I would just let it be. it will clear up on its own. its nothing pretty to look at, but if you only see one, you really dont have a problem.

I would have my vet look at it. I am such a worry wart myself. Regardless, I sure hope it clears up. Maybe your vet has something stronger to dry it up?

My past dane had canine papilloma virus, and she bit off the biggest wart after about three weeks of having it, and they all went away within a day after she did that.
