Unfortunately, without examining Duracell, I do not know if the lesion that you are seeing in his mouth is normal or not. There are a number of normal papilla and other structures that could be the bump that you have seen, or this lesion could be the result of an ulcer, mass, or other abnormality. I recommend taking Duracell to his vet for a physical exam to get to the bottom of this situation.
