Black tongue?? My 9 yo yorkie, Tia has developed a black patch on the tip of her tongue. It's in the centre and very blotchy in shape, and not bigger than a pencil eraser in diameter. I've done a bunch of research and the only thing that I can find is a diet that is lacking in Niacine can cause this. I feed her Evo low fat, so I don't think this is the cause. Does anyone else have any ideas? Michele :-) |

Certain breeds have pigment issues on their tongue; Huskies, Labs, Chows. However, there are melanomas of the mouth that start off as dark patches, and are often malignant. The best thing to do at this point is to bring it to the attention of your vet asap. Keep us updated. |
