Normal tongue?!? 1 Attachment(s) Does anyone know why my dog always sticks his tongue out:confused: even when he sleeps. |
Two ideas...........I have seen dogs with tongues that hang out because they are missing teeth in that area of their mouth. Assuming yours has all of his teeth, is it possible that he could be getting hot under all of that fur? A dogs tongue swells when they are warm, and the evaporation of moisture from the tongue helps to cool their entire body. Good luck! |
WOW! Thats interesting! He def has all his teeth. I live in FL so it gets hot here....do you think this has developed into a habit? I feel like he always has his tongue out..even when its not hot out. |
Just in case anyone is interested. I spoke to my vet regarding this issue and he said that this is actually nerve damage. He explained to me that some breeders actually think that this is a cute trade and breed for it but in reality its not a healthy trait. |
Hello, Lia has the tip of her tongue sticking out most of her waking hours and always when she sleeps. Her tongue actually looks rather long for her tiny size. Well, it does not appear to cause any discomfort or present health issues and she is almost two years old. We think it's cute:) |
