PensFan99 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I never really paid attention before, are Husky's gums normally pink and black? I was asked from the vet to keep an eye out for black spots on gums, and looked and thought-"Huh, her gums have a lot of black on them..." thanks!

Elyse Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Suka has black spots on his gums too, I think it's normal for huskies. It's just their skin pigmentation showing on their gums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simhauu Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Did the vet gave you their reasoning? Ghost's are pink-black too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in knowing why the vet said that ... while it might be uncommon in some breeds ( but I can't think of any off hand ) I know it's all too common in others.

Like, Suka has those black spots on his skin too...not just on his gums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just if the vet had a particular reason for it. I think the black pigmentation helps protect against sun. Ghost has black and pink spots on his paws too and at quite a lot of places.
