My dog has a rib cage bump and gum disease. Should I get a second opinion?

Question

So my dog kook has a bump right in between her rib cage. She went to the vet yesterday but the vet said she was fine and apparently checked everything. She is also showing signs of a gum disease but nope apparently she's fine, but I don't think so. Please tell me if she is fine and I'm just over reacting or that vet is bad at his/her job. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 10 years old

Without seeing Kook in person, I can't say for certain if she is fine or not, but I always believe in listening to your gut. If you feel that she isn't fine, then I would recommend taking her into another vet for a second opinion, which may put your mind at ease.
