Nichole Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey Everyone, My 4 month old Amstaff is loosing his teeth and i have just noticed some little ulcer type things on his top lip. They are all inline with his teeth so it looks like they could be rubbing. Has anyone had anything like this before? Anything i can do for him? I am sure its got to be uncomfortable for the poor thing ! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 hey, i've never heard a dog having uclers before! best to take him to the vet for a check. even if it's to ease your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar (AmBull) Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Are they on the inside or outside? Oscar has tiny little bumps on the outside of his lip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichole Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Are they on the inside or outside? Oscar has tiny little bumps on the outside of his lip? They are on the inside of his lip, like pimple type bump things... i think we might take a trip to the vet to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmoo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 sometimes dogs will rub there mouths on the ground, chew sticks et. if you are feeding your dog bones on concrete or he is having a bad tim teething which is causing him to rub his mouth this can cause little bumps on the inside of the lips which can turn to ulcers. best to keep an eye them and if you are concerned see a vet.

Thanks for that MissMoo!, theyare getting a little better so I havent taken him to the vet yet. I will monitor them and see how he goes. He often rubs his face on the ground and chews on bark but he is also teething at the moment so hopefully its all a combination of that and it goes away!

It might be a silly question, but does feeding a dog bones on concrete make a difference to feeding on grass Just curious as George drags his bones up to beside his kennel which is on concrete and eats them there from time to time, he has no ulcers though....

If it does make a difference I have no idea what it would be, I don't think it matters where they eat their bones as long as it isn't on the carpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
