It definately isn't food/mouth gunk.. I think it may be a layer of skin that has died/become infected...?

i heard that white fur with pink lines down the middle is a sign of zinc deficiency often cos eating too much sugar

Weird no?

Is it very white? Sounds like a Candida infection (aka Thrush)

Nah, it s doctor thing not dentist. The tongue often changes due to problems in the body. Like vitamin deficiencies, nerve problems, muscle problems, hormones issues...

Could be oral thrush

edit: you can buy something for this OTC in boots, but I'd go to the docs if you've never had it before.
