It's starting from the tip and going back and a bit to the sides.
Concerned about unbalanced diet.
If she doesn't do well on new formulation (it has been unbalanced), then maybe it's something along the lines of melanocyte alopecia. Vet to consider biopsy if it gets worse... Ellie's pigment is great though. It just started...
Interesting...

I am waiting for Dr.W to write me back. Yesterday I wrote him asking for a new diet for TJ bc I can not get his mucus pooh under control So I will ask him about this issue now too!

TJ has a dark brown nose. His paw pads are skin colored. But with this hair loss on his nose now, I can see his brown nose fading into skin color and he has a small spot on the end of his nose that is fading too!

Vet mentioned Vitiligo and/or Old Age, but told me not to worry...

I do worry and I inspect his nose ALL the time...It is freaking me out! I tell him I will still love him with a pink nose though
