My dog has bumps under her top lip. Should I be worried about them?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

I have better pictures now but are these bump like things normal? Like could they be the normal ridge-like things on her lips? These are located under her top lip. Doesn’t hurt her & I can “lay” them flat & can be manipulated like the other ridges. They also just feel like her lip. Shes eating & runs around with a hard ball in her mouth with no problems. Had a full blood panel done less than 2 weeks ago & it was great. Urinalysis & T4 too.

It's still a little hard to see these things well, but I did not say they look normal. They could be thickening from chronic inflammation, something like a wart or something more worrisome. A vet should take a look at those and check then further.
