Hello. You should have this evaluated by your veterinarian as it might be eosinophilic esophagitis/pharyngitis, a possible autoimmune or allergy driven condition. It is more commonly seen in northern breeds ( ie Husky ), but I have seen this in mixed breeds, too. Most respond to a course of prednisone, some lesions need to be removed with laser ablation. It is possible that Harlie snapped at a bee & was stung on the roof of his mouth, but I think you vet should be made aware of this. It is not an indication of anything very serious, but we do feel dogs do feel some discomfort with them. I hope Harlie does well soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
