jbbb Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Today Steph noticed that Bam's lip had changed colour. It is usually all browny colour, but on his left side his lip seems to be pink. The pink area seems to have increased in size and the colour has become a bit darker. Any ideas on what it could be? Change in diet? (food and/or water?). Alergy to a plant? Allergy to Flame? Allergy to me???? Could he have grazed it? It doesnt seem to be causing him any discomfort, and is quite happy to let Steph poke him in the lip, as long as he's not half asleep! Is Steph being a worry-wart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 some dogs do loose some pigment as they age, doesn't look like anything to be concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steph & Bam Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 some dogs do loose some pigment as they age, doesn't look like anything to be concerned about. The thing that got me worried the most though was during the day today it changed from a pale pink to a darker pink over the course of the day.

becks Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 you can just see the blood through the skin easier, was it while he was getting warmer that the colour darkened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolietas Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 My sheltie sometimes suffers from a little dermatitis along his lip line...and his lip can change from the brown colour to pale pink (just a sign of inflammation the vet said).

Guest Steph & Bam Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 We think we may have figured it out. You know the rubbing nose on the ground roll thing that dogs do out of pleasure? Well, Bam's never really done that before until he got here and started doing it on the carpet. We think he's given himself carpet burn, the poor baby!!! The area went darker after a play, then stayed very dark for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
