Hyshqa Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks like a brownish-orangey/tan colour on my screen. Is it a stain or is that his actual fur colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 it's the whole length of his fur in that patch it's like a pinkish colour but none of the others have it on them anywhere:huskyfall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyMom09 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 are the other 2 licking him there maybe? I was just about to ask if someone was licking him maybe....my white boy licks his front legs in the winter and it stains his legs pink. Vet says it's an enzyme in the saliva...so far it hasn't been harmful and it goes away when he stops licking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 no - no hair loss and have never caught any of them licking him there either - his "bits and pieces" yes but not the top of his head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharloid Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Broder has a tan colour, a little like that around his ears and the back of his head/neck. He always had it though, it spread and darkened to create his mask as when we got him as a pup he had very little colour apart from this.

mydiamond Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 somehow it seems like light brown/tan to me.. Maybe it's saliva enzyme, maybe it's just another change of coat color x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austinville Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Is it his skin that is that color or is it actually the fur? From what I can see, it looks as if he's suffering a bit of thinning of the hair in that area.........and that is making his skin 'shine through'........... But in either respect, I don't know. Was just wondering if I was seeing the photo properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan roots Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 this is just a normal pic of him ,,, it looks like a saw patch with thinning of fur, ie: licking too much !!!! we have found that zinc doesn't enter the body too well because of a stable diet of dried food, the adding of oily fish like mackerel helps the digestive system to take in the zinc ( zinc from Holland and barett £10 for 500 tabs) we are doing 1 tab every 3 days and 2 fish a week, 1 fish over 2 days (raw) then later on in the week another one ( de boned by the fish monger ) i hope this helps .....
