Why did my dog's black nail turn clear after allergy meds?

Question

One of my 10 year-old dog's normally black nails turned clear. She has been having allergy issues of late but is reacting well to her medication. Should I be concerned? Other than the loss of nail color it appears normal.

Dr. Paula Simons · Accepted Answer

Is your dog on the steroid Prednisone? If so, this medication can cause them to lose some pigment in their skin. Otherwise, the nail looks healthy. I would just continue to monitor it and have her seen by your veterinarian if you notice any abnormality in the structure of the nail.
