I did some online research last night and found that Squamous Cell Ca is pretty common in some breeds. That's what my dog has now. Can be slow growing and does not met unless it's inside the rows of teeth... My Dusty has it just behind his upper left K9 tooth between cheek and gum. I have him on a human (and dog) NSAID meant for bladder CA and it seems to be slowing growth. I mention this just in case Vin's pooch might have the same. Not all Docs know about it. It's a specific NSAID and needs an Rx.. Piroxicam is the drug...

Crap.....that's where my buddy has a growth and my sister didn't want to biopsy it because it would have bled so much being in the gum line. Last year he had a growth on his left front paw and she removed it. A battery of tests, x-rays and ultra sound found nothing except for the lump near his teeth.
