Princess just turned 7 years old this month and lost one of her very back teeth because it was going bad (she was chewing on a bully stick, when it finally came out), but now a few days ago, I notice this hard, bump growing out from the top her gums (see attachment).
I took her to the vet right away and he says he honestly doesn't know what it is. He says it's not what dogs typically have in their gums (forgot the common term), but he hesitates to call it a tumor just yet. He says he can remove it but it's up to me... :confused: He says it can also be an infection from when her tooth fell out. We decided to wait a couple weeks to see if it gets bigger.
It doesn't seem to bother or hurt her, but I am honestly super scared and nervous, I can't bear the thought of having her go through surgery!!!
Does anyone have ANY experience with this on their dogs?? ANY input will be helpful, as I am a nervous wreck right now just checking on it all the time hoping it goes away!!! |
