Dog losing pigmentation on lips
A few months ago my dog started to lose the hair under her chin. The hair has since started to come back however, the pigmentation in this area and the lip area has turned pink. It seems that she is losing the pigmentation in her skin in this area. I took her to my vet and he said he had never seen this before but thought it was allergy related. She has always been a "paw chewer", but the loss of color in the skin is concerning. Have you ever heard of anything like this, and if so is it allergy or age related? |
