| Loss of Pigment
Have any of you experienced any loss of pigment in your Dobermans on the lips or nose? What do you guys do for this problem? Is this normal? |

 | Define, loss of pigment? Like how much loss?
I know of a Rottweiler who lost ALL pigment after a rabies shot. Around his eyes, lips, mouth....all turned a pinkish/white. Very freaky. It is to bad too, because he is a BEAUTIFUL dog and would have done very well.

| I use kelp daily, for 2 reasons, good for pigment and thyriod health- was told about the pigment from chow people as they have to have those black tongues
