Results The purple tongue was common before surgery and on the 3rd and 5th day after surgery and red tongue was common on the 1st day after surgery( P < 0. 05). The R value of tongue was increased after surgery especially on the 1st day after surgery but the R value of tongue was gradually decreased on the 3rd and 5th day after surgery( P < 0. 05). Comparing with one day before surgery
the R
G and B values of tongue fur were gradually decreased on the 3rd and 5th day after surgery( P < 0. 05). The enlarged tongue
