Fur Discoloration!

Posted : 3/16/2008 6:53:51 AM

I do hope one of you guys can help me or as many as you can!!!!!

Jazzie my Pointer is Orange and White and I have noticed the last few weeks he has by his undercarriage pinky stains!

I have seen the staining on wet mouthed white dogs and various other breeds, under there chin and sometimes around there eyes!
I have tried warm soapy water and also a whitening shampoo for horses(couldnt get one for dogs)...I have seen some where ages ago about this problem but cannot find for the life of me where it was.

I do hope you can help me and give me some advice.
Here is a picture for you to see what I mean...look closely around his manhood area! sorry!

btw...his pee doesn't smell strong and I havent changed his food!

That is a great picture!

Have you noticed him licking or chewing that area at all lately?

It looks like he is licking himself. Hektor will get orange spots if he licks a lot. I use the tear stain stuff to remove them.

You might want to make sure he does not have some type of irratation going on down there.

Puppy Porn!!!

I bet Angel Eyes would work, for that. I, too, wonder if he's irritated. Looks like he's been licking/chewing himself a lot.

Crusher's white feet get pinky in the winter from him chewing the ice from between his toes. Have you noticed him licking around there?

Eek! *covers eyes*

Angel eyes might help, or maybe some bitter apple to stop him from licking there.

Thank you ALL for your advice.......I haven't noticed him licking anymore than usual, he does lick himself but all over to have a wash.
His skin isn't irritated either so the past few days I bought some fairy soap and have been sponging him down daily with warm soapy water and then getting a clean towel soaked in fresh warm water and rubbing him down with that too.
The staining has lightened up considerably so rather than use anything else I will keep on with this easy method!
But Angel eyes sounds good so I may just get a bottle to keep it at bay!

Thanks again everyone I do appreciate the advice and the replies.

Love Claire
