davidjk Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 husky colours change and are not fully settled till they are about 2 years old. which is one of the reasons people dont breed them till they are at least 2, so you know what to expect from the offspring. tbh i would expect some of the inside of his mouth to be black, but mostly pink. i dont think it is anything to worry about, but i would just mention it to the vet to be on the safe side if it looks grey ish and pale white, then it is unhealthy, nice pink is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 not sure bout the mouth but if the nose is getting lighter he might b gettin a snow nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Don't know about his mouth, but his nose could just be a bit of "Snow nose". Which is nothing to worry about and perfectly normal for our dear Huskies http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/diseasesconditionsfaqs/f/snow_nose.htm...

Sarah Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah - looks like snow nose I would imagine the pigment in the mouth would change like the nose does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbb23 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I had heard of snow nose befor but not the mouth change colour but you could always have a chat with your vet if you are worried but what david explained it doesnt sound unnormal tho Great answers guys added to all Reps!!

siberian_wolf Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Sounds like Odin has snow nose or is getting snow nose. My guess would be the same as sarahs, that the pigment changes in the mouth as it does with their nose. I have seen a few other dogs that have had black inside their mouth and they have been fit and healthy and had a lovely set of bright white teeth so I would say its nothing to worry about.
