What causes loss of lip pigment in dogs?
Abnormal loss or absence of pigmentation (ie, leu – koderma or hypomelanosis, respectively) can be caused by reduced pigment production and/or loss of melanocytes. The lip margin in dogs is highly visible and often darkly pigmented. Both the degree and pattern of normal pigmentation differ by breed type and indi- vidual dog.
