We saw the Vet that day and she explained epulis to us, benign, but that it had to be removed esp. as he could knock it and have a bleed.
They took the opportunity to do a dental at the same time, which was about due. He is "resting" in his furry igloo as I speak, he is a bit of a wimp anyway, but sleeping it off is best. Our other two (Rascal and Bandit) are full of concern, so sweet.
The vet said it may grow again, may not.

I'm glad Coco is doing well after surgery. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
