Why is my senior chihuahua's fur yellow on her hindquarters and tail?

Question

My 13 year old chihuahua is turning yellow on her hind quarters and tail. She is normally white with some brown spots. Is this something I should be concerned about? Her stools are normal, or little round balls. She is eating normally, but occasionally gets an upset tummy. When she spits up, it looks like white phlem.

If Chica’s skin is turning yellow this is concerning and could be jaundice. Jaundice can be seen with liver disease or blood disorders. If her fur is yellow it could be staining from feces or urine. If you think Chica may have jaundice you should see a vet right away.
