he's about 2.5 years old now (my god has it really been that long?). he's healthy in every way, but i noticed something strange.
In his mouth, in those soft pink flaps that hang over the gums, and some on his gums, he's got black spots. It looks like something is stuck on his gums, but it's not. it's not a sore, it's not hard, if you couldn't see it and rubbed your fingers across his gums you wouldn't feel it.
They are primarily where his top teeth rub across the gums to close. so the marks on on his bottom gums.
he doesn't complain, they have been there for a long time now, and I just thoght maybe i should ask.
now, for clarification. his sister tinker has black spots in her mouth that are birth marks. She's orange and brown. her lips are half pink and half black. so i know it's just markings with her, but she hasn't gotten any new ones.
I've seen these for over a year on wilbur, but they are starting to accumulate more.
is this something I should be afraid of? Does it warrant a vet check?
