Black spot/blemish in mouth?

Rambotron · 02-06-2017, 12:38 PM

Hi All! Sorry I have yet ANOTHER weird question!

I've noticed Irwin has developed a little black blemish on her 'gum' inside her mouth.

She doesnt seem to be in any discomfort and is still eating ravenously.

But this 'spot' thing certainly want there a few weeks ago.

Has anyone seen anything like that in their torts?

Never mind! It appears to have faded an awful lot today.

Im think i've just got a poop eater!

Sorry but I can't help you, it does sound like something he's eaten, and if it's gone, I wouldn't worry about it.

Could have been a bit of blood under the tissues and that is why it is fading.

If it's going then I wouldn't worry about it, it could be some staining from a dandelion.

sometimes I find they can have a little blemish on their gum which looks black but goes as they grow, CB

Thanks guys, she has been eating more dandelions that's for sure and I didn't realise they could stain!

The only other thing it could have been is that she is still being given daily liquid calcium with a syringe and maybe I jabbed her :/

Either way, it has cleared up so I wont worry about it any further
