Bumps on gums

[backorderdomain]

Hello, I recently took my dog to the vet due to shifting of his teeth (the tooth right next to his bottom fang started pointing outwards) and while brushing, I found it to be loose. The vet mentioned that this tooth would need to be extracted but they said that it wasn't a procedure that had to happen right away and assured me that it was nothing to worry about.

Of course under normal circumstances, I would have schedule an appointment right away. Unfortunately, earlier this year, my dog had ITP and was in the ICU for 5 days. He's currently taking medication (prednisone and cyclosporine) and his specialist mentioned that it would be dangerous to put him under anesthesia. Now this his prednisone dosage is very low, the specialist believes that he'll be OK.

I plan on getting his teeth cleaned/extracted but can anyone please tell me what the bumps are? My dog has gone to our general vet and our specialist and both have looked at his teeth but both have also failed to mention anything about the bumps. At first it was one bump but a second has developed in only a week. He is eating and drinking fine but I'm hoping to get ahead of this issue and have them removed right away.

Thanks so much!

@backorderdomain are the bumps growing? if so, it’d be worth having a biopsy done ASAP.

@corr I think they're growing slightly. One grew in about a week but has slowed down.

I just got feedback from a virtual visit that they might be epulis'. Sucks that this due to this pandemic, it'll be a week before the vet can see him.
