Hello. If Sisi's coat was discolored or stained by a shampoo or dip, I would take her back to the groomer to see if they have a reversal or a product that can lighten the coat back. If not, all you can do is wait for the coat to shed & a new coat to grow back in. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
