What does it mean if my puppy has discoloraton (yellowish) on some parts of her fur? I checked to see if it was on her skin too but its not.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to see in those pictures. That really requires an examination. That could be due to a skin infection or possibly just a normal pigmentation change. I would recommend that if this continues, you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Best of luck!
