Hi there,
My 18 month old retriever has recently developed some pink spots on the side of his mouth. It's in the jowls where the skin is naturally quite bumpy so it doesn't look like a new growth, more like that the skin has turned from black to pink.
I read somewhere about this pigmentation change potentially being quite common and harmless, I was just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this with their dogs? I'm a little worried about the sudden change - it's been like this for a couple of weeks and doesn't seem to be healing. He is a vey allergy prone dog, I was wondering if something might have bitten him on the lip and it has flared up.
I've uploaded a small photo.
Thanks in advance!
