Epulis


EPULIS
Has anyone had or have a dog with this. It is a lumpy overgrowth / benign tumour of the gum tissue.

Harvey has just had his yearly booster / check up & prounced healthy & fit. We were complimented on his overall condition especially his pearly white teeth.

Only thing out of place was the Epulis. I have heard of Boxers who had this condition - Vet said he has only ever seen them in Boxers or Boxer crossbreeds.

This is first time we have had a Boxer with one ourselves. The vet said its not causing any problems & his advice is to leave it alone but just keep an eye on it. A decision we are happy to go along with.

Just interested if anyone has ever had a dog with this condition?

Re: Epulis


Sorry Velvet, I've never even heard of the condition. Glad to hear that Harvey has otherwise done well.

The two she had were in different places, and after she had the second one removed, they never grew back....
