Hello, thank you for your question about Reagan. Based on the photos that you've attached I suspect that Reagan has papillomas, secondary to the papilloma virus. This is not uncommon in younger dogs. This is a generally a benign viral infection that leads to raised wart like lesions on the muzzle and lips. These lesions resolve without any further treatment and are unlikely to recur. Hope this helps!
