Hello there,
My little guy's name is Moe, and Moe has a large bump along the bottom of his lip.
I got him about a year ago, and he's had this off-and-on since then.
I took him to the vet in the summer, and they gave him Simplicef, which made it go away.
It has since come back, and it obviously is bothersome to me.
He shows no physical discomfort or pain from it; he eats like a pig, doesn't experience any visible mood change or unhappiness- no fatigue.
He just simply has this bump.
It KIND OF looks like a rodent ulcer, but I am not sure, and my vet initially didn't know either and wanted to take a biopsy of it.
Is this a rodent ulcer? Note also that the discoloration is not part of the bump- Moe has a brown birthmark on his lip that expands due to the bubble.
I have tried switching him off of seafood, switching to soy-free food, switching his bowl from glass to plastic, plastic glass, etc. Nothing seems to really fix it, but, as I said, the Simplicef DID make it go away previously, alleviating my concern a bit.
But, what do you think?
