marsred Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 We rescued Ela-Yona at the end of her spring blowout (vacuumed the house more in three weeks than in the previous three years). Anyway it appears that her winter coat is starting to come in. With it she has dark spots at the front leg joints and yellow areas on her back. Is this normal, seasonal or something else? I am driving the vet nuts with questions and this didn't seem to alarming. She just doesn't have the pretty coat she has had since she adopted us.

Elyse Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Could you provide pictures? The hues and sometimes colours of their coat change with the seasons and the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsred Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The yellow is hard to photogragh. Here is one of the spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Is she pure white? That spot may be a result of her elbow rubbing or resting on hard surfaces, it seems to be in the same place mine's is...except his is a big scab looking thing (was there before we got him).

marsred Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yes she is pure white and the discoloration really is distracting. It doesn't affect anything, just isn't her normal pretty self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 that looks like my boy's elbow. He's a black/white but even he has those black/reddish spots too. I'd say she's perfectly fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
