- "Congenital Pink Tooth"
- Occurs in cattle, cats and sometimes pigs
- Teeth are pink due to congenital inability to metabolise haemoglobin pigments. These pigments also produce photosensitivity in skin.
- This results in severe sunburn if animal exposed to normal levels of sunlight.
Discoloration of a single tooth is more likely to be caused by pus in the tooth.
