Usually this color change is a result of licking. If Bella has been licking the area she may have allergies causing her to lick and stain her fur a brown color. You can try using a gentle shampoo like Douxo calm to bathe Bella once or twice a week to see if this helps. I'd also recommend Bella be on a quality flea preventative like Bravecto or Vectra to prevent itching due to fleas. If Bella continues to have the color change it would be a good idea to have her examined by a veterinarian to ensure she does not have any skin infection or inflammation.
