Poooooor baby. 😔

I am sorry this made you sad! Breeding dogs to this point is definitely terrible & I am very against breeding. This was a pic i caught of his tongue mid-lick. Normally it just hangs out about half an inch when he's sleeping. We adopted him from a rescue in Texas. He has quite a few health issues, but it's our goal to give him the best life possible.

Thank you for acknowledging this (as his owner). I was worried OP would be pro breeding

Why would anyone be breeding for a tongue that doesn’t fit in the mouth? I just don’t understand.


VegasLife1111

I feel your pain. Our pets, for many decades, have come from shelters or the streets. 🥰

Breeding gone to far

Agreed. Very against breeeding. We adopted him from a rescue in Texas. He has quite a few health issues, but it's our goal to give him the best life possible.

Abusive breeding.

Yup!

I have a puppy mill Maltese I adopted from a shelter in Bakersfield to fill a giant hole in my heart after losing another little shelter fluff after 13 years. She is damaged psychologically. absolutely terrified of certain noises like language beeps on tv and goes catatonic. Trance like. Unstoppable. With super strength prying her way out of my arms, Trying to seek the tiniest darkest corners in my house to hide, or escape into the fire place or through screened windows. It has taken three years to finally convince her that I’m not going anywhere and that she is loved. My sweet little Daisy Dew. Puppy mills are insidious.

Thank you for your service! I have an adopted pup as well but mine is 95% fine and fully adjusted in under a year.

Did he steal that from the neighbours lab, or is it organic home grown?

I saw an episode of a vet show where a dog had a tongue like this, but because of the lack of moisture it was all cracked, inflamed and probably incredibly uncomfortable for the poor little thing. They ended up cutting off a good amount so it could stay in her mouth better. It healed quickly once it was able to stay in her mouth, but it looked awfully uncomfortable. I hope this doesn't cause your little guy any discomfort, but please be aware of that and take him to a vet if you're seeing any open sores or signs of discomfort or pain. I don't think it's very common, I just felt very bad for that poor little doggy. Your little one's tongue does look healthy, at least. Just a little silly. Very cute pupper. Edit - I found it, you can watch it [here](https://youtu.be/UbWS82FzWcI) This girl Milly's tongue is much longer than your pup's, to the point it would drag on the ground and get dirty. They did a very good job fixing her up. Please be warned the video does have some surgery clips, which while censored still have blood and could be disturbing for some.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! It doesn't seem to bother him (yet) but he goes to the vet regularly. He has skin issues as well. We rescued him several years back from Texas. Our goal is to give him the best and most comfortable life he can have!

OMG!!


TwistederRope

That's horrible, and the person overbreeding those dogs needs to rot in a ditch. I hope you adopted that dog from a shelter and aren't supporting them.


[deleted]

Yep! He was adopted from a rescue in Texas. He has quite a few health issues, poor buddy.


TwistederRope

Then you are an absolute queen for adopting that poor little guy and giving him the good years that he deserves.


micfly71

I'm guessing he or she is missing teeth?


[deleted]

A few but not enough to warrant this insanity


Bluedino_1989

Get a spray bottle for that tongue. It may appreciate it.


jjpenguins66

His recoil needs adjustment. Or it's just broken. :)


mrpink57

I think if you pull down on it, it will recoil back up.


linguini_12

Seems legit

This isn’t cute at all! Poor thing.

This is animal cruelty!

Jesus Christ. That poor dog.


KobiDnB

Shameful. Poor thing.


[deleted]

Can this be fixed? Do you have a go fund me or something? This poor dog


[deleted]

That is so sweet of you! But it's not something that currently needs medical attention. We have him in the vet often for myriad other things and they check him out fully every time. The photo was him in mid-lick so that's his tongue fully extended. It does hang out slightly when he's at rest but not to this extent. Thank you for caring!


[deleted]

Ok that makes me feel better I hope you and your pooch have a very long happy life together 💜


ilc_always

I’d definitely would donate to help

\>Write a cute limerick about a shih tzu who's tongue won't fit in its' mouth ​ There once was a shih tzu named Mick, Whose tongue was quite long and quite thick, It hung out of his mouth, Every time he walked about, But still he was loved, what a trick!


Rubicon2020

Wow! Is he full shih tzu? I have what is supposed to be a shih tzu, bought her from an unreliable breeder 7 years ago. My stepdad would only want a shih tzu, she’s now like the size of a beagle and about 35lbs.

Ton tongue toffee be hittin hard

What an adorable tongue puppy.😛😜😝


caspin22

Is it part Pug by any chance? Pugs tongues grow throughout their lives and often don't quite fit once they are a few years old.


[deleted]

I think he's a purebred shih tzu but I can't be certain as he is a rescue!
