Hi Everyone,
I just called to have our 6 yr old checked out. He has always been very playful with the other boxers in the house when outside and
loves to antagonize the one with the ball. ie: head butts ect.....I noticed about 3 weeks ago that his tongue gets somewhat bloodied.
Well, I took the gloves out today "he hates those"-- and really took a good look, as it seemed to be getting worse. I had always thought that he was somehow biting his tongue over and over or banging it when he does his little head butts.
Now after looking closer...I can see that the tongue "side tip" is a bit harder and looks somewhat like a small piece of cooked meat...gross, I know...
sorry....this is really concerning me.
HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE????? He is eatting fine...yet in the last week has been getting a little messy. His activity level is super and
he seems perfectly fine in all respects.
All I can think of is Tongue cancer....has anyone ever heard of this????? Is it possible????
Any thoughts at all would be appreciated.
We couldn't get an appt. until tomorrow AM....
Thanks so much, Lauren
