Generally speaking, a dog's tongue is only common when it is very hot or when it is intimate with you. In addition to the blue-purple tongue of grouse, the tongue of normal dogs is usually red in color, moderately dry and wet, and may be slightly thicker in summer and lighter in winter. And the dog's physical condition can also be expressed through the tongue. Let's talk about how to judge whether a dog is healthy by the color of its tongue.
1. The tongue is white, indicating that deficiency of qi and blood is more common in malnutrition, anemia, excessive blood loss or parasitic diseases. A pale tongue indicates extreme weakness.
2. If the tongue is red, it means bloody, which is more common in heat infectious diseases. Purple-red tongue is seen in the late stage of heat infection and intestinal volvulus.
3. Yellow tongue indicates damp-heat syndrome. Dark yellow is more common in chronic hepatitis. Orange is more common in acute hepatitis and blood parasitic diseases.
Although the color change of the dog's tongue can't fully explain the problem, it can show that the dog's physical condition is not completely healthy. There may be some problems that lead to the color change of the tongue, so check it as soon as possible.
