green tongue??

[firemuse]

My 6 month old kitten has a big green spot on her tongue! Its the same color as green mold and it is not at the tip, but back a bit further.

Its about this long [----------]

and this wide [----]


What is it????


I should take her to the vet soon but I want to see what you guys think it might be.

She has all of her shots, an indoor cat, and I feed her good food and clean water. She doesn't seem sick at all.............but I dont think this is normal, is it??

What has she eaten recently? Do you have plants in your home? (if yes, keep them away from the cats)

Rule of thumb, when in doubt, see your vet.

hmmm...other than the normal cat food i give her...i dont know what she could have eaten.

we dont have any plants in the house.........hmm.......well.....maybe i should take her to the vet. i hope shes okay!

thanks for your help!

I had an older cat get a similar blue spot on her tongue. It turned out that for some reason she was eating the blue deodorizing crystals in her cat litter. She wasn't getting sick but we changed litter after seeing our vet & figuring out what was causing it.

Make any green jello lately? Or any other people food colored green that she may have licked? Paper with green dye? A new toy?
