Re: [PyrNet-L] Tongue

This is the only time I had seen or even heard of this problem.. I had her
checked by a specialist... He said it was nerve damage and thought it could
be attributed to a whelping box injury... Her tounge did not stick out when
she was born... Noticed it first at about 2 and a half weeks..
