Why does my puppy have lumps on its inner lip? Is it serious?

Question

I found two lumps on the inner lip of my puppies upper lips. I’m not sure if it’s normal or not (may be glands) but I thought I would check. One is bigger than the other. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 9 months and 19 days old | 75 lbs

It's not normal. it is probably a viral tumor called papilloma, it is not considered to be life threatening and it usually takes several months to a year to resolve without treatment, a treatment with a special antibiotic called Zhitromax helps in some cases. i would recommend taking Langley to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked.
