Question
hi i have just noticed my dogs lip, he has a black lip. but its starting to turn pink in one patch about the size of pea its not sore to touch it doesn't seem to bother him hope you can help thank you

Answer
I don't understand if you are speaking of a flat spot or a raised one. If it's raised and is a new development, then have a vet see your dog before it gets any bigger.

Dogs are prone to all kinds of mouth, lip cancers. Don't wait too long before you have it seen.
