I have a 6 year old (3/5/05) 6 lb. Tea Cup Chihuahua. I brush her teeth and noticed the gum by her 1 'eye' tooth is a tiny bit 'purplish' in color. she is not acting or eating any different. Before it becomes a problem, I am inquiring for a non-invasive topical ointment I may be able to apply to 'kill' any infection. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

An oinment would not be very effestive in the mouth, if there is an infection, oral medications would be needed. Dogs and cats can get growths in the mouth, and they can alos get abcesses. Have your veterinarian check her out so that she can receive the proper treatment right away. It also may only be a pigment (color) change that is normal with age! Good Luck Carole
