    ‎1 st suggestion , wait and see! ask the owner also to wait!
    2nd, do a close observation! do u real find any dermatological changes of the skin? or only the hair is affected?
    many dogs change their colour due to RIDD, antfungal myconazole+cholrhexidine shampoos! check this also. and see what food are they giving!
    if u find no dermatological signs, stright forward, u need to ask them to wait and say them to keep an eye on the anals! lolz
