Hello. This is probably a periodontal flap covering the emerging tooth, but your picture is too out of focus to really tell. Just watch this for the next couple of days & if it still concerns you, please have Nala evaluated by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
