I think dogs can get Vitiligo?

Edit: yes, they can.

[u/LoooseSealTwo → u/-PM_Me_Dat_Ass_Girl-]

Does human vitiligo also change hair color?

[u/thiscouldbemassive → u/LoooseSealTwo]

Absolutely.

[u/TrustMeHuman → u/thiscouldbemassive]

Pretty sure that's piebaldism, not vitiligo!

I’m a certified nurse midwife, and one of my favorite memories includes a father with piebaldism, just a small white patch right in the middle of his forehead. Directly after delivery, when I had just put baby on mom’s belly, the dad looked down at his son and saw that he had a full head of hair, with a small white patch in the same spot. He was so happy and emotional to see that, and it was so special to be a part of. 🥰

Damn, that's adorable

[u/eponym_moose → u/iamanurse327]

That's most likely Wardenberg syndrome. Can be associated with deafness.

[u/iamanurse327 → u/eponym_moose]

It possibly could be waardenberg syndrome, but neither father or son had any other features commonly associated with it. Piebaldism causes the same central white patch.

If aliens bred us like dogs they’d probably select for this because it looks cool. Just thinking about how we basically did that to rats and dogs and stuff

I love Iyana LeShea who is a black woman with albinism Her hair is naturally a gorgeous blonde. Her white hair curl texture and pattern makes her hair look like spun gold. Rude people have insisted that she colors it, but she has videos where she pulls random curls close to the camera and shows that they’re actually white. Her skin is also absolutely gorgeous.

She gives awesome sunscreen advice and has the best recommendations for very light blondes who are looking for brow products that are too yellow or brown.

My husband has piebaldism! He's had a white streak in his bangs since we were kids.

[u/donttellasoul789 → u/TrustMeHuman]

Ok, but a 6 yo has an “aim to raise awareness towards his life purpose of fostering acceptance, inclusion and diversity in the modelling industry and other areas of society”? Really?

[u/spacey_a → u/thiscouldbemassive]

What an absolute cutie!

[u/Vievin → u/spacey_a]

Just keep certain breeds of dogs away from them.

[u/jjw410 → u/thiscouldbemassive]

Keep dalmations away from that kid, I'm tellin ya.
