| if she is eating and drinking fine then it's not low sugar which sometimes shows white gums. Worms will also show very pale, whitish gums. I would take a stool sample in to the vet. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would have her checked by your vet. Hopefully it is nothing.

| White gums can indicate an emergency. It is very unlikely that it's shock or hypoglycemia at this point but anemia may be a concern.

| I haven't made it down the posts yet but I may be low iron. The vet finally figured out after going every week for 3 months that is the cause of all of her problems. |
