Most toungue problems turn out to be injuries.
Does she open her mouth and stick out her toungue at all?
Please fill out the form, already posted, and a few pics are very helpfull.

ditto the above
and can you describe what you mean by gagging?
did it happen suddenly, or has tongue function got worse over time?
