Black Spot on Tongue *pic* should I be worried ????

[LoJack]

Some photos of a black spot on Atticus' tongue.

It showed up a few weeks ago and I thought she had like burst a blood vessel on a sharp part of a stick while playing or something ... but its been a while and it hasn't gone away ... thought I'd turn to help from some of the experts out there.

Should I be worried ... and should I be taking her into the vet ?

Thanks for your help

That's nothing... you want me to show a picture of Lucy's tongue? It's completely normal.

my gsdmix has black on her tongue too it's ok.

I wouldn't sweat it, unless it is bothering her.

are you sure it is linked to injury?
that may be just pigmentation.
you can see it in my avatar picture.
whole lot more!

Nope doesn't appear to be bothering her ... I just had no idea what it was. Wouldn't even have raised a flag except for the fact that I know it wasn't always there.

Well thats a relief lol

Thanks again guys

No not at all. That was my best guess at the time because it just seemed to appear out of no where.

I was just trying to find logic in it lol

Black spots appearing on the gums or tongue can be very normal for this breed, along with other breeds...and it can happen at any age.
As long as it doesn't change color, texture or structure...there should be no worries.
