Whoa. Tell me more. Jim and I have no trouble opening Cubbe's mouth
for a good look inside, but the veterinarian never does. (Due to the
muzzle business.) Cubbe has a spotted tongue. Her gums and roof of
mouth are quite black. If we knew what to look for, we could help with
that part of the exam. (Unless the doctor did that while Cubbe was
sedated in the back?)
