[Dailydrool] Green lips

[jazzystar at cox.net]

I've never seen this problem mentioned here but maybe someone has 
experience with it that can help us out.  Last summer and again this 
summer, Emma Bean has gotten pink bumps and green fur on the sides of 
her bottom jaw.  The vet says it's bacteria and yeast from the drool she 
produces combined with the humidity.  We've tried several medicines like 
creams and cleaners and antibiotics.  Sometimes it seems gone but then 
comes back.  Today the doctor said that if it keeps coming back our 
choices are to continue applying medicines twice a day or have surgery 
to reduce the lip fold.  I hate to put her through surgery but she's 
getting tired of all this medicine, too, even with a treat as a reward. 
What do you think?  Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,

Carol K. and Emma Bean
