My dog has a new bubble on his gums. Is it serious or needs treatment?

Question

Just saw this bubble on his gums yesterday. I can say it wasn’t there a week ago. Any thoughts? Concerns? Medication needed? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 25 lbs

Hello, it does not look like anything overall concerning at this time. Some dogs may develop cyst on their lips which may resolve on their own. Keep a close eye on it, and if you see it get larger, become firm, or develop any discharge, then you should indeed have him seen. If needed the likely next step is to remove, since medicine would not resolve that unless it was an infection which it does not initially appear to be. Hope this helps and best of luck.
