German shepherds tongue infections may happen to any dog in any age – from a small puppy to an aged male or female. A pink tongue with some reddish tints is considered to be healthy and normal. The change of a colour of this important mouth organ may indicate that there are some health problems or bad conditions.
If the tongue color is quite pale or even white, it is not a good sign and it may mean that a pet is weakened. This weakened condition may mean malnutrition of a dog, some trouble with lungs, anemia, blood pressure issues etc. You should pay attention to the pet’s health.
If the color of a tongue is very red, it may mean there is diabetes, viral or some bacterial infection, hyperactivity of some body systems etc. To exclude German shepherds tongue infections or some other health issues, the owner needs to gall a veterinarian.
If a dog has got mouth organ markings from its very birth, it means that they are genetic and there is nothing to worry about as animals like people also have moles and spots over their bodies. But if there is a black spot on a tongue that has recently appeared, it means you should visit a vet to check for the reasons. Sometimes these markings and spots may mean a cancer or some other serious diseases. If you met this breed of a dog with black mouth organs, this may mean there are a mix of this breed with Chow Chows or Shar Pei.
The yellow or orange colour of a dog’s mouth organ may mean they have German shepherds tongue infections or some problems with gall bladderor liver. In this case a specialist will prescribe a treatment to improve a dog’s health condition. Be careful as the colour of a mouth organ can also lead to puppy vision problems in the future.
