The photo is blurry so the exact problem isn't clear, but it's likely not a mystery case — get a second opinion at another hospital. For a swelling in the mouth, ask for a fine-needle aspirate and cytology to rule out a tumor and determine its nature, plus bloodwork and an allergy test, since allergies can also cause oral and mucosal swelling. Find the cause before treating.

Common Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Pet Colds
Pets catch colds easily — usually from chills (season changes, baths, drafts, rain, cold floors) or low resistance. A plain cold can worsen into something serious, so treat it early. Never give human cold medicine (acetaminophen is toxic to dogs and cats); use pet-specific drugs. Learn the warning signs that separate a cold from pneumonia, rhinitis, feline herpesvirus (cat flu) or distemper.

Canine and Feline Nasal Adenocarcinoma
Nasal adenocarcinoma is a destructive tumor of the nasal lining in dogs and cats, producing a bleeding, pus-tinged discharge and gradually destroying the normal nasal structures. There is no reliably curative treatment, and the prognosis is poor.
Canine and Feline Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive, invasive tumor of the mouth lining in older dogs and cats, usually appearing as a firm, ulcerated white mass on the gums, tongue, or palate. Treatment options are limited and the prognosis is generally poor.
Canine and Feline Infectious Oral Papillomatosis
Infectious oral papillomatosis is a benign viral wart of the mouth caused by a papillomavirus and spread by direct contact, mainly in young dogs. The growths usually regress on their own within a few weeks, though large numbers can interfere with eating.
