| Blue, white, pale or gray is a problem. Black is normal pigment. What color are they? http://www.ehow.com/how_3028_check-gums-dog.html

| Okay, did they just change this color recently or have you never looked at them before? Normal dog gums are pink with splotched of black. Is she acting normal? Is she breathing okay?

| No there can be some areas of black on their gums ... sort of like paint splotches (sp?). Is Lexi acting normal? Did she eat anything she wasn't supposed to yesterday?? Call me.

| All dogs can have black splotches on their gums. Ellie does. I just looked at them. Now if they are totally black, that is different. You should see quite a bit of pink and if you don't, call the vet.

| Please try to relax. I know how stressful it is to think that something is wrong but she sounds fine. I don't think gums can become totally black. Ellie has quite a bit of black... You need to look at the pink parts (I'm sure she does have some) and if these aren't a nice pink then there is a problem. Pale, white, gray and blue are bad. I don't know what the wheezing is. She should probably see a vet for that.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Mine all have black and pink gums. My poor Dixie RIP had very pale grayish gums because she was so sick.
