[Dailydrool] Nose color changes

[Basset911 at aol.com]

This was a recent thread of conversation for me <g>, so thought I'd  share 
some helpful tips.... 
Other causes of loss of nose color are vitaligo,  snow nose, and plastic dish 
nasal dermatitis  
Vitaligo causes black pigment in the nose and sometimes the  lips to fade to 
brown.  
Snow nose causes the nose to fade to brown in winter; normal  color returns 
as summer approaches. Snow nose occurs mainly in white-coated  breeds; the 
color change can become permanent in older dogs. It is not  associated with 
disease. 
Plastic dish dermatitis can occur if the dog eats or drinks  out of plastic 
or rubber bowls. It is triggered by a reaction to an antioxidant  found in the 
dishes
