Thanks for reaching out about Tykarp and including photos (although they are out of focus and can not see the lesion). Is the yellow on the fur or from the skin? If it thick and raised? Fungal and bacterial dermatitis can cause color changes and a veterinarian should examine the skin. Try to clean the lesion with a warm wet washcloth. Good luck.
