    Piebald - Discoloring on underside of jaw?

    Hey All - No pics yet, but I just wanted to throw this out to the community for some input. Will get some pics when I get home from work in the morning.

    I have a September 2011 Piebald hatchling that is 450 grams that went off food mid February. Husbandry is good and there have been no environmental changes so nothing to be alarmed about I know and she is typically a good eater, but I had her out today checking her weight and I noticed that the underside of her jaw is pretty dark, almost looks discolored. I don't remember the underside of her law to be a darker colour and when I google or search the site for any sort of discoloring around the mouth area "mouth rot" pops up.

    I know we cannot begin to daignose anything without pictures, was just hoping that you would be able to privide some input as to what it could be, what to check for or any pied owners to comment if this is normal. I will try and get some pics up tomorrow afternoon.

    Thanks.

    Me: Hey babes, can you do me a favor and take a picture of Secrets (our Piebald's name) jaw and the underside of her head and send it to me so I can post them.

    Her: Bahahahaaaa, the mean one. No way, I'm not getting bit.

    Tomorrow it is...

    Phew so far so good with the replies. I was just having one of those moments where I couldn't remember if she had those marking since I got her, the google took my moment of confusion and turned it into worry.... argghhh

    Will still try and post some pics tomorrow... Get my little girl in the spotlight for her 15 minutes...

    I did take some pics, but I don't have them on me now. I will hunt down your post and comment there, my Pied was normal and nothing to be concerned about.

    I've heard this also, my Spinner has a small faint grey mark under his chin. I call it his 'birth mark'.
