I don't think we have a troll here. The email addy is real, and the problem
is realistic, too, so I wouldn't worry. Actually, I was thinking exactly the same today. We had nearly 40 Deg C on the Gold Coast of Australia today (our summer), and my Xena (not white but very pale still) was outside. I was wondering, if there was a sunscreen that I could use on her (especially her 'bold spots') and that she wouldn't lick off.

Hope someone can help, Regards, Andr0 Don't know about any sunscreen - but we once had a cat that had one area exposed to the sun - his nose! it was not Black, dang! what's the word for it.. can't think- but dark skin - as in humans too - is not so prone to sun damage -the pale skin is, and in this case the Vet recommended we have his nose tattoo'd black - we had this done - but right now as I write it seems crazy - it's still pale skin just tattoo'd dark - so I dunno if it was effective or not? ~email invalid so don't bother~spamproof! |

Thanks Stuart!
Actually, it is a relief (for me at least) that Xena inherited a dark nose from her Siamese ancestors. Also darker ears, but only on the outside....I will ask our Vet if her ears could be 'darkened' inside....I wonder? and those 'bald spots' on her face, that are often red from mosquito bites, and after yesterday, I believe it was the sun's influence. Anyway, I think you gave me a great hint - something for a start. Many thanks! Andr0 "Stuart" wrote in message om...
