why do chihuahua's turn gray? We jumped at the chance to rescue a chocolate chihuahua. We were told he was anywhere between 2 and 4. We were also told we would be the fourth owners (and the last, as far as we are concerned). We were also told that he might eventually have some liver problems because a vet had said he had a high atl (alt)? level. We took him because he has a good temperment for a 12 year old girl who needs a best friend. We have only had him for four weeks and he is rapidly turning gray. We are feeding him good food, walking him regularly and loving him tremendously. But why is he turning gray? Is it something we did? Or are our two rescued female cats (calico and tortie) to blame? He leaves them alone but tries to eat their food...
