Has anyone got experience and advice on treatment of canine epulis? Recommendation of a good vet who has experience in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's a fairly common oral tumour (benign) but it needs to be removed. perhaps if you told us where in the country you are people would be in better position to recommend a vet?

Thanks for your reply. Just had it assessed and it's gone into the bone. Unsure now as to whether it's malignant. Have to await biopsy results which will take about 10 days. The waiting is hard. Any advice would be really welcome.

If you're in Dublin, you could ask for refferal to UCD veterinary hospital. Have the best diagnostic facilities and provide excellent veterinary care.
