Question
Our Boxer has a dime size pink open lesion / on the roof of
his mouth. Can you advise us on care and or tx?
Thank you.
It can be a canker sore caused by a virus, an insect bite, food allergies, or papiloma to cancer.
Only a vet can tell for sure.
Has he been stressed? Any changes in the family? A different diet?
I would take him to the vet as it can also be a symptom of kidney failure--
