[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 805967, member: 1682"] The tongue won't visually look any different (ie. colour). But her breath was foul smelling, not sweet/milky like usual. Woody tongue is similar to lumpy jaw. An abrasion of the tongue (usually the back) gets infected with Actinobacillus lignieresii, a common soil bacteria and the tongue abscesses and swells. High levels of iodine in salt mixtures help prevent it from occurring. I had forgotten to give any salt to her herd for a little over a month, and that is why it occurred. [/QUOTE]
