why does my dogs tongue change color?

Question

well rarely often its purple and cold but most of the time its pink

Answer 1

Hi Wendi!! The tongue is usually pink in color. Dogs may have an occasional dark blue-black marking, while certain breeds, such as the chow, have a totally blue-black tongue. The tongue is covered with taste buds that distinguish flavors.

Since it is highly vascular and contains many important taste receptor cells, it is richly supplied by both the nervous system and circulatory system. Therefore the tongue is a very sensitive organ and its appearance can change with many physiological changes in the body.

The normal tongue is pinkish red with a certain shine. When the tongue appears pale, it may be a sign of anemia or weakened body. When it is red, it may be exhibiting hyperactivity in different systems of the body. When the tongue color has a tinge of purple, this might be an indication of pain, congestion and blockages in the body dog.

A normal tongue should have a very thin clear coating that exhibits proper enzymatic content and salivary secretions. When the coat becomes thick, it is frequently a sign of imbalance in the digestive system.

When the coat turns thick and cruddy, it is frequently a sign of decreased immune system with Candida (yeast infection) presentation.

Also changes in this region can indicate changing toxicity levels in the body.

Consult with the vet if your dog does have tongue change color.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7bN

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.
