I recieved this email from someone local to me. I have not had too many flies but it sounds like she has. Any ideas of what may cause the lip area to turn pink? This is apparently happening to more than one of her dogs at the same time. Thanks Kim Weber Fresca@xxxxxxxxxxxx `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Kim, do you know what would cause the black lining on the dogs lips to come off and now they are pink? And also on the pups they have gotten small patches of skin showing through a few spots look like there may be a sore. I have noticed a lot of flies this past week and I put swat on their ears and bag balm on the bare spots. Could those spots be from the flies? Or maybe where they are just playing too rough?
