Guest Anonymous Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Every time we travel, we keep our dog, Libby, with a friend. We are always surprised that Libby's nose, area around her eyes, and gums return from brown to black, the original color. Libby's diet is the same as when we are here. The only two differences we can think of are 1) she is outdoors most of the time at our friend's, and 2) our friend does not have soft water. Any ideas if these could contribute to the color change? Any other thoughts? She is so pretty with the black accents. Thank you, Chris Quote
Queen Bitch Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 What sort of bowls does she eat/drink out of? Plastic bowls can casue nose discoloration. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 She eats/drinks from aluminum bowls. I guess I don't know what a pyr is. Quote
ESSlover Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Pyrenese (sorry I don't think i spelled it right!) What breed is she? Quote
DogPaddle Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Type of water does effect the colouring around eyes and mouth according to some of our other members so maybe your right in that being it. Quote
imported_Debbie Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Does this happen in a certain season of the year ?? My JRT Sassy (white) loses pigment in her nose in the winter months and I believe they call that "snow nose" ??? The pigment comes back after the cold/winter are over. :wink: Just clutching at straws here.......... :lol: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 The coloration change is not seasonal. Her nose etc. is always brown vs. black unless she's been at our friend's. We brought her home on 10/7 and I'm expecting the change to brown--which occurs gradually over a few days--at anytime (no sign of it yet). Quote
