No one seems to know what has caused the change. Being that she is 5 I don't think this is a normal color change. Has anyone else experienced this or possibly know what is going on? I appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
This is called running gold....However, females are prone to this, especially those that are bred, and as they experience each Heat Cycle, the lighter and develop the running....Now this on average and not all do it.
