Not like his bottom lips are, no.

Sometimes his bottom lips are nearly white and then later they’ll be pink again.

It’s random and none of his blood tests show any anything amiss.

One vet said “Maybe he’s just weird that way”, which I’m pretty sure is not a diagnosis from the Merck manual.

I’m awaiting extensive thyroid tests as well as the lousy T4 test they did is pretty useless.

His numbers were obviously “low normal” on even those tests and the vets flat out said “we don’t treat low normal”.

They did not do the exhaustive tests I requested, at all, so we had to get blood drawn all over again and sent the blood/serum to Dr Dodds in CA.
