Poor Pan! Hair loss and color changes to the skin can be due to a number of things. It would be best to have her examined by your vet to rule out any immediate issues such as a vaginal infection or irritation that could be causing problems. Bloodwork can also check for issues such as metabolic disease that may cause symptoms as well. Parasites, skin issues, and other skin-related problems may also cause similar symptoms.
