Title: Mysterious hair???
Post by: gina on April 13, 2004, 08:39:11 AM

Hi All

Barkley seems to have a short (about 1/2cm) hair growing out of the middle of his tongue (surely this isn't normal!!)

Just thought i'd see if anyone else has experienced anything like this :?:

It doesn't seem to bother him, i plan on taking him to the vets just to be sure though.

HI Gina, ive not heard of this before, perhaps someone else has!

It could possibly be a hair that has embedded in his tongue.


I would take him to the vets for a check up.  :)

Yes this does happen :(  When i was a full time groomer there was nothing more uncomfortable than a hair that had got trapped against the skin and it will automatically start growing inwards if left.YUK :!:   Needless to say i used to make sure i had a through scrub down and exfloliating shower when i got in :)
