Corn

Question
We have a 3 yr old corn, healthy from day 1, no issues.  We've noticed its tongue is "floppy", for lack of a better word.  He's sticking it out further than he usually does, and it doesn't flicker as usual.  It kind of flops around.  Is this a sign of illness?  He's eating/drinking/shedding/pooping normal.

Thanks

Answer
I am honestly not sure what it could be. Possibility he might have hurt it while eating, though I have not heard of this happening before...If everything is OK except that, I wouldn't worry too much. Might be worth a trip to the vet if it continues for another week or so.
