How can I tell if my Bichon Frise is healthy by the color of its tongue?

Most dogs have a habit of sticking out their tongues, and a cute breed like the Bichon Frise is no exception. Usually, it is normal for a Bichon Frise’s tongue to be light red in color and moist. However, sometimes the color of the Bichon’s tongue changes and it is likely to be sick and needs to be checked by the owner as soon as possible. If the Bichon’s tongue is white, the dog is weak and may be suffering from malnutrition, anemia, blood loss or internal parasites. 2. If the Bichon’s tongue is yellow or orange, the dog is suffering from damp fever, mostly due to hepatitis, and the darker the color, the more serious the hepatitis is. Although the color of the Bichon Frise’s tongue cannot be used as a reference indicator of disease, dogs with abnormal tongues are most likely to have health problems, and owners should not ignore this signal. In the process of raising a Bichon Frise, it is important to always pay attention to its feeding, defecation and mental state so that it can take timely rescue measures in the face of sudden symptoms and it can grow up healthy and happy.
