Maxie

[jennyjoan]

Well his wee face was completely covered in fur and indeed all of him was so off he went to be groomed yesterday. His fur isn't great or thick - anyway we will start from scratch??? (he is scaldy looking) so when he grows again will give him back a bit of character in I will grow some hair/fur back onto his face and his tail.

Anyway I noticed under his belly he has maybe what I would call pigmentation that looks like large spots you know what it would look faded out dalmation spots. Anybody know what it could be - it's not nice looking at all. thanks for any replies

[ummmm]

It's common in dogs.

[jennyjoan]

right - thanks for that Ummmm - it doesn't look "clean".

Most older dogs get it, call them age spots if you like, and nowt you can do about 'em.

[ummmm]

What colour is he?

[Tilly2]

Don't try scrubbing it off, JJ. As Ummmm says, it's natural. You'll get used to it.

[jennyjoan]

boo he is only 1 - oh no would never dream of scrubbing as his skin is sensitive - do know it his pigmentation.

[jennyjoan]

colour - white fur but nearer to skin blackish which sometimes appears to me sorta dirty looking.

[ummmm]

I have a tortie cat that looks like she has a gammy eye because of her coloring. One eye looks like she's wearing white eyeliner and the other has a speck of ginger in the corner that looks like gunk! Poor little ugly thing :-)
