I recommend to get Cookie checked out by the veterinarian. A sudden change in pigment can indicate something like allergies, skin mites or hormonal changes related to hypothyroidism or Cushing’s disease. The doctor may get some clues of the physical exam and diagnostics can be run to tell you what is happening with Cookie. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
