Yippee it’s Saturday I hope everyone got through April Fools day unscathed or at least if a prank was pulled on you, it was a fun one Since there are a lot of dog lovers out there . . .
Didja know?
A dog’s mucus membrane is the size of fifty postage stamps
Whoa! That’s almost the size of a Chihuahua or toy Dachshund <humans>
Know wonder u prefer cats LOL I have 5 dogs, but I only agreed to 2. I had no idea about the size of the mucous membrane, but I find that very easy to breathe as all of the dogs lick everything allot.
Ummmmmm.......in its nose???......or just which "mucus membrane" were you talking about????
LOL I sure hope not just the one in it's nose the little factoid I dug from the bowels of the internet didn't say, so I'm going to take a leap here and say probably all of them. Poor dog would have a nose the size pinocchio's
Checking your pets gum color is one way to alert you when something is wrong. The gum tissue should be nice and pink, if your pets gums are pigmented try to find a spot that is non-pigmented or use the mucous membrane tissue in the groin area. If your pets mucous membranes are anything other then pink, something is wrong and you should call your veterinarian.
Pale pink or white mucous membranes could spell shock or anemia, blue generally means your pet is having trouble breathing and not getting oxygen, yellow mucous membranes generally means your pet is jaundice and having liver problems, and bright red mucous membranes could mean heat stroke for your pet or carbon monoxide poisoning.
