| Hello,
Loss of pigment can be quite common especially after the winter months through lack of direct sunlight. Things that are naturally rich in iron and iodine help to inhance and promote pigment - so a kelp seaweed product is especially good. I know a lady whos dog had lost the pigment on one half of its nose and through using a supllement naturally rich in iron and iodine (not sure if i can name it) it bought the pigment back even though the vet had said the pigment cells were dead! Might be worth a look and worth trying. All the Best |
| I realize I am awfully late responding to this post, but a very simple soulution helped our Andy...a hilariously funny, non-sheepie, mix terrier. Removal of all PLASTIC within his reach. Plastic feed bowl, outside plastic water dish, any toys with plastic. Within 7-10 days we could see a noticable difference and he now has a fully black nose and the fur is returning to the sides of his nose. Hope this helps. |
