Is it "normal" (or at least generally not disease related) for a dog with black nails to have a white one?
Being the worry wart mother that I am, I did some googling when I noticed one of cipher's nails was white (not sure if it was that way when we got him...but he's only been here just over a week so i would assume so) and the only thing I could find talked about VKH (an auto immune disease). The part that worried me was that there is also red eyes associated with VKH and before I noticed the nail I noticed his left eye was red for a couple days though today it looks better. I also read though that auto immune diseases generally dont show up til young adult hood and cipher is 5.5 months.
So now I'm wondering how worried I really should be...any info on non terrible reasons for a white nail are welcomed.
