white bump on tounge

hey all,
I couldn''t find any info on the forum on this - hoping someone can help?
Beckett has a white bump on his tounge. Its' been over a month and it does not seem to be getting bigger so I'm happy with that.
At first I thought perhaps it was a canker of sorts, but ruled that out bc those (on humans) are said to be due to diet and the dog's diet hasn't changed - so there goes that. Then I thought maybe it was a blister or something from licking something hot (think bbq) but I think it should be gone by now if it was that.
I'm not sure if its bothering him bc i can't exactly pull out his tounge and poke it without bothering him anyways. ha ha
It does feel like a solid hard bump when he licks me though.... I'm fresh out of ideas and don't feel a need to spend lord knows what at the vet to have them tell me they need to run tests. ANY THOUGHTS?!??!

My cat had something like that when he was with the rescue group prior to our adopting him. They did a biopsy to rule out malignancy. It was a cyst and they were able to remove it.

I would have it checked to make sure that it is just a benign cyst and not something cancerous.
I agree it really is best to get it checked by a vet.
Vet check you really do need to take him for a vet to assess. If it had gone away by now no problems, the fact it is still there and not going down you need an assessment of it. :wink:
