    [RC] [RC] Bump on chin - David & Vicki Wheeler


    My 5yo has one about the size of a grape on his right jaw just where the noseband falls. The Univ of TN Vet School radiographed it 2 years ago & referred to it as an oseochondroma (a benign bony tumor) probably due to an injury. It's not attractive, but it doesn't appear to cause pain so our vet has recommended not removing it.

    I consider it one of those identifying marks, like his freezemark, & all his other boo-boos.
