I have a Bengal with a brown nose but in the last week a small area of his normally brown nose has turned pale pink and this has got gradually bigger as the week has progressed.

As for temperament, they do really well with a double dose of Zylkene for a few days, so two capsules SID. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/96079?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:26:52 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:fd96ebf8-85a7-4df2-9178-b893d26c9107Sal the 1st<p><em>&nbsp;</em>I did wonder about vitiligo but it isnt very common is it?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/96078?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:21:20 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f240d763-7bdf-4ea6-9d54-238f507e1ec3Sal the 1st<p>no to chemicals, no other patches anywhere, mms all appear normal, no discharge from his nose, no sneezing, temperature normal, eduf all normal,&nbsp;collecting anything cellular from his snotbox is going to hurt - me&nbsp;I suspect. If its much worse in the morning will take him into work but thought&nbsp;I would ask incase anybody had come across it before? he isnt the easiest to get in a basket - and once he is in a basket i can barely lift the fat git and doesnt travel well (well he travels ok its everybody else that suffers <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sick_smiley.png" alt="Ick!" />)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/96077?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:18:53 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:258303c4-27a0-45c8-bada-b3cb696fb421Anonymous<p>I forgot to mention so fungal infections, which is quiet common in the noses of bengals(search bengal nose) can cause pigmentation changes. Trauma can also do it, burn? Feline herpes, oh and vitiligo!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/96076?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:11:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:1c330fea-81e1-4582-9a3a-88e728082d96Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA<p>Hmmm thats a short period of time then....
