"lump?" in Dog's mouth?

I just noticed a "lump" in my dog's mouth, kind of like what you see when a piece of buscuit goes to the wrong place and you need to move it from where its stuck? Problem was, when I went to move it, it was not a buscuit but like a boil in between her mouth tissue and skin. It is soft and pliable. What happened and how did it happen so quickly?

It sounds like an oral papiloma. They are benign, resemble cauliflower like growths in or around the mouth. Many vets choose to remove one or 2 and some do nothing at all. Your dog can contract the virus that causes these masses from other dogs, perhaps when their immune systems are not developed for example puppies from the dog park where they share water and toys.
Reply:i wouldnt waste time asking people on here. get your dog to the vets asap, as this could be a serious problem.
