I don’t see any depigmentation that would be suggestive of vitiligo in your picture. I do see a red third eyelid, which could be a sign of pinkeye (infectious conjunctivitis) or a number of other eye diseases. It’s impossible to determine a diagnosis based on a picture alone, so I’d recommend making an appointment to see your veterinarian.
