air licking Ted has suddenly began sticking his tongue out as if to lick the air constantly...almost as if he has peanut butter in his mouth. Is this a sign of some medical issue? thanks |
Not to scare you but this can be a serious sign of something. I can't remember what though :( |
oh, no. I'll call the vet. thank you. I just didn't know if it was a temporary quirk. |
Please let us know what you find out. I may be overreacting, but my little one licks her lips a whole lot- not sure if that is the same or if that is something to worry about. |
I will let you know. Hoping I can get him in to see the vet. Can't find a solid answer on the net. Everything from obsessive attention getting behavior to something stuck in their teeth to allergies (I did recently change food to Canidae) and the worst...kidney problem. Poor wee man. It looks so annoying. |
Let me know, my Westie has been doing this since he was a pup, he is 8 years old now and still licks the air.. |
Ted's appointment is tomorrow morning. I'll pop on right after. |
My mom's dog does this, and I can't figure out why. |
Really?? There's a medical issue behind that?? Mimi girl does it all the time...only when I'm brushing her tho. I thought it was cuz she enjoyed the brushing! I'm calling my vet, but please...yes, keep us updated. I'm soo worried now! |
Ted's appointment is 9:30 California time tomorrow. He seems healthy otherwise (bit overweight though); so, hopefully, it turns out to be something silly. I imagine they'd have to run tests for allergies and such. He does eat a lot of chicken or maybe it's something in the Canidae that doesn't agree with him. "Air licking" of all things to get us worried, huh. |
Mine eat chicken too! I hope it's nothing serious...I made an appt too for 9am tomorrow (Wed) to have acid bile test & whatever else needs to be done for both Mimi & Momo. Been reading here on YT that too much protein is bad for yorkies...soo worried! But they won't eat their food unless I mix in plain boiled chicken breast...smart stinkers! Well, it's my fault :( |
Ted wants his CHICKEN in his kibble too. I have noticed though that if I leave the kibble out long enough without the chicken he will eventually eat it...I just feel so bad to give him plain boring kibble. My fault too. |
How old is Ted? Is he losing his baby teeth? Daisy Mae did that when she was about 5 to 6 mos. old. One of her molars could not fall out all the way and then her adult tooth starting coming out and the tooth was caught hanging there. My Vet just pulled on the baby tooth and it came right out.:) Ted may be o.k.... try not to worry too much. ~Kathy:animal-pa |
Thanx, Kathy. Ted's almost a year and a half. Any baby teeth left in there? i tried to look, but I can't tell what tooth is what. Of course tonight, now that I made the appointment, not too much air licking going on...little rascal. |
