if you dogs gums turn white thats a very good indicator that your dog is anemic or significant medical stress please bring your dog to the vet

Could also mean some sort of issue with blood pressure.
My dog had white gums after surgery. We thought initially blood loss. Turned out it was from his post-op pain meds (hydromorphone) that caused him to have low blood pressure.

Vet ASAP... your dog could be anemic and this can be very serious. If the anemia gets to bad your dog could start fainting from lack of oxygen to the brain.
In severe cases of anemia death can occur so it is best to get to a vet and have a full blood panel done.
