Gum tumours are very large and extensive on the left jaw. Inspection of the mouth shows a large gum tumour on the left mandible, said to have grown large in the last 2 weeks.

 Further tests like biopsy, X rays and blood tests are necessary to confirm a diagnosis of cancer of the mouth. Blood test showed neutrophilic leucocytosis indicating a severe bacterial infection. 
No biopsy and X-rays were done.  

The owner decided on euthanasia as prognosis after surgical removal is very poor.
