Vitiligo
|
Vitiligo is defined as a skin disease characterized by
smooth, white patches on various parts of the body,
caused by the loss of the natural pigment. Also called "leukoderma",
"leucoderma", "piebald skin". Humans also get this skin
disease. Here are some photos of Dobermans with this
condition, although Dobermans are not the only breed
that can
be affected by this disease/condition.

The
purpose of providing these pages to everyone is to offer
visuals and/or share actual experiences of different canine
medical syndromes, adverse reactions and diseases, which
include some of the visual symptoms of them. While these
symptoms can vary with each dog they should offer a better
idea or understanding. For me, seeing is believing in addition
to the education, reading, etc. The photos shown, if any, are
not necessarily the same dog, nor is the purpose of this page
to focus on *who* the dog is or the owner(s). It is strictly
for educational purposes only! I apologize that some clarity
is naturally lost when scanning.
Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian, medical professional, nor
am I claiming to be. Also, I am not trying to offer treatment
or diagnosis for your dog. This page is for canine owners to
share with other owners their dog's personal medical photos or
information. Please consult with your veterinarian or medical
professional.
