HI. Does anyone know much about a small round lump that can appear on a bullogs tooth by the upper canine tooth if so. What is it, as my bulldog has one and im bit worried.

Rocco had something like this a few months back. It was even bleeding when he played with certain toys. The vet said it was common for this breed as well of boxers to have overgrown gums. She said we can get it removed but it was not necessary. Since then (it's been about 5 months) it has gotten A LOT better.
Lump on the actual tooth?
Or above it in the gumline?
Do you have a picture?

Do a Google search on Epulis in dogs
One of our Bullies has had them removed twice so far. They can come back after being removed.
