I noticed this morning that my 8-year-old male has lost pigment from the base of his nose to the top, right up the middle. It's a fairly wide strip, and has changed from black to brown with a *hint* of pink behind the brown. This has never happened before. He does not eat from plastic bowls -- never has. It's been very, very cold in Denver recently. He's not in the sun a great deal -- he's a house dog. There are no sores or lesions associated with this. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it time to panic? LOL Thanks! Fran Henry ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
