Guest bernadette Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I just noticed this about a half an hour ago as we were walking and his tongue was hanging out. Tough to get a good picture given it's location. Anyone? Needless to say, it has me a little nervous. It isn't smooth and it looks actually like a tooth hanging out of the tongue. (It is the white thing hanging down from his tongue toward the right side of the picure) ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAJ2010 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bizarre.... Is it squishy or solid? Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernadette Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It is hard to touch it, it's coming from under his tongue. Awkward place. As best as I can tell, it is very formed, it really looks like a jagged tooth hanging down. Solid... maybe a little soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Are you sure it's not a foreign body?? Was he chewing on a marrow bone?? Not a lodged piece of bone?? If not my guess is papilloma. Edited July 22, 2012 by tbhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernadette Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yes, I just touched it. It is very firm with a little give. Squishy but solid... does that make sense? It is growing from his tongue. =( This poor dog can't catch a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangos_mom Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nedra had one come up on her tongue, back when she was first rescued from the scum that had her. It went away on it's own as her health improved. I've been told that canine papilloma isn't uncommon to see in puppies or senior dogs, as their immune systems are not as strong. But mild cases will take care of themselves. As FiveRoooooers said, if it gets worse or doesn't go away, you need to look into further medical assistance for it. My guess is that it won't get worse, though.
