Loba, my Satin, she is a cross between a Himalayan(satin carrier) and Golden Satin and I ended up with this gorgeous, Chocolate and Golden Satin. She has just gone 3yrs old this week and I noticed when checking their nails and ears this...

This is her...

She suffers from a slight fungal infection which comes and goes under her chin, her father was the same and so is her brothers. I have asked some others and they think the pigmentation is dying due to her age, but I was just wondering if this is indeed correct and anyone else has delt with this? The pigmentation loss is also around her eyelids and on her pads too.

I have recently, the last month started spraying citronella, dialuted down(2 drops per liter water) around the cages to keep the flies away, but surely this couldn't have affected her. Any ideas would be welcome.

I'm sorry I can't help. I'm not at all familiar with this. She looks a very pretty piggie.
