Why does a white dog's hair turn red suddenly ?

I have a 12 year old cocker spaniel-terrier mix who is predominantly white,with a small amount of brown on her face. Suddenly, the hair on her back legs has turned to a reddish tint. Any ideas why this would start to happen so suddenly?

Most likely the result of a fast moving melanoma. I don't think your 12 year old cocker will be seeing it's 13th birthday.

She has been licking or chewing on herself. Their saliva makes the fur turn red if they keep licking the same spot.. I'd treat her for fleas as they are usually the culprit making the dog itchy. If you are certain there are no fleas, take her to the vet to see if something is going on. If her fur is just brownish, not reddish, that would just be stains from playing in the dirt.

usually the red comes on the face due to iron in the system and the tears turn the hair red. the leg hair may be affected from the inside out to turn it red.

She may be passing blood in herr urine and some of it is getting on her legs. If that is the probke, she needs to see a vet.

she is either chewing on herself and bleeding or she has fleas really bad and the red color is flea poop. I had a friend who had this problem. She has rust colored dust all over her bathroom. Take your dog to the vet.

maybe if u left her outside that might of happend or maybe she is just getting old!

Probably because she is licking the hair on her legs. Or she is laying on a blanket, towel or something that is red and when she lays on it with her hair wet it stains her hair. If you want something to take the stains away, try Eye Envy it will take care of the staining and is all natural so if she licks the hair it is on it will not hurt her.
