My dog has a hard bump on her upper lip. Is it from raw meat diet?

Question

Hi. Thank you for the previous answer. Please find attached the photo of the ulcerative bump I found on her upper lip. I am worried because it is hard. Or is this due to the raw meat diet? Thank you for the fast reply. Pet's info: Dog | English Springer Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 8 days old | 11 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This could even be an abscess or infected lesion. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!
