Hello and thank you all for reading. One of my companions, whom I've had for 12 years,(she is probably 12-13 years old) has developed what look like odd shaped freckles on her head right in front of her ears. Her hair is so thin this is where I am able to see it, I cannot locate it anywhere else on her body although her undercoat is very thick elsewhere so it would be hard to see.
To answer a few questions:
-they are not raised
-She doesn't even know they're there, they do not bother her
-She doesn't overly itch her ears or that area
-She does go out in the sun and lays in the grass to bask in the sun, but has since she was a baby and never developed these spots until lately
-her catsister who is a different breed, and who is only about 10 years old, has not developed anything like this.
-her dogsister feels the need to constantly lick them and lick her face which she never used to do.
Is she just getting old and her skin pigment changing? Could this be cancer? Should I take her in? Or should I not worry? Thanks in advance for any knowledge .
