Has anyone's cat's tongue ever turned black? Autumn's has. It's not black spots. It's like when we eat a grape lollipop only darker. She gets no people food. Her cat food is dry Merrick.
In addition to @IndyJones
suggestions:
It could be that she's bitten it but more likely that she has a yeast infection, just like in humans. Try giving her some live yogurt. And take her to the vet.
Or, it could be toxoplasmosis parasite, in which case you definitely need to see the vet, but it's easily treated. But most importantly is to get tested yourself if she has it, as it can cause seriously nasty symptoms in humans. It's caught by accidentally handling cat poo.
Try getting some water down her in the meantime if she's just on dry food, as tongues dry up and become darker when dehydrated.
But whatever the cause take her to the vet. I hope it all goes well :catguy:
Lol. I'll have to check to see if she has any fuzzies.One morning I woke up and Atticus's tongue had a blackish grey spot in the middle of it and I was convinced that he had some kind of horrible, freaky cat disease.
After all, it looked pretty serious.
Imagine my chagrin with the vet began pulling small fibers off Atticus's tongue!
It turned out that Atticus had been having a fairly intimate relationship with my fuzzy
blue bedspread and the fuz had gotten caught on the papillae of his tongue. He'd evidently been licking it.
The vet actually thought it was hysterical. She, however, did not have to pay her own bill.
