Without knowing the cause of the blister on your dogs tongue, it is difficult to determine if a vitamin tablet will help. If the blister persists than your vet may need to do a biopsy to diagnose the problem and determine the best treatment. If the blister is caused by a viral infection than it should resolve within 7-10 days.A vitamin that is formulated for dogs is safe to use.
