What to do if there are dark spots on the dog’s tongue?
Dogs are the most loyal friends and companions of humans, but they also have various health problems that require us to pay attention and take care of them seriously. Among them, dark spots on dogs’ tongue are a common symptom. In this article, we will introduce some reasons and coping with dark spots in dogs.
First of all, we need to be clear that dark spots on dogs’ tongues are not a disease, but more like a sign, which may mean some problems in their bodies. The dark spots on the tongue can be brown, brown or black, and usually appear on the tip, side or base of the tongue.
Here are some reasons that may cause dark spots on the dog's tongue: 1. Food and water contamination - If the dog's diet and water source are not clean, they may intake a large amount of harmful substances, such as bacteria and chemicals, causing dark spots on the tongue. 2. Indigestion – Problems in the dog’s digestive system may also lead to dark spots on the tongue. The digestion of the upper, middle and lower sections of food takes a certain amount of time. If the digestion is indigestion and the food stays in the intestines for too long, harmful substances will be produced and it will reach the dog's mouth through the circulation system. 3. Poorly controlled saliva secretion - If the dog's saliva is overseen, dark spots will form on the mouth and tongue. 4. Genetic factors – Some breeds of dogs are born with melanin deposits on their tongues.
Next, let's take a look at how to deal with the dark spots on the dog's tongue. 1. Send the dog regularly to the veterinarian to rule out the cause of the disease. If the dog's dark spots are caused by serious health problems, it is necessary to receive treatment from a veterinarian. The veterinarian will conduct necessary examinations, confirm the cause, and treat different causes. 2. Special diet. If dark spots are caused by dietary problems in dogs, they need to change their diet. Choose fresh and nutritious foods for your dog and avoid eating outdated, spoiled or harmful foods to ensure your dog's health. 3. Oral care. Regularly clean the mouth, clean teeth for the dog, and keep the mouth hygienic and clean, which helps prevent the formation of dark spots. 4. The dog's drinking water must also be clean and clear. Replace or clean the drinking water utensil frequently to avoid contamination.
Finally, if your dog has dark spots on his tongue, please pay attention and deal with it in time to avoid more serious health problems and take them to the veterinarian for examination regularly. Please avoid taking medicine by yourself, and do not use human medicines to avoid causing more harm to dogs. Through reasonable diet and professional care, we can help our dogs maintain a healthy and beautiful tongue.
