Yes I think you are right, lighting and colour would certainly make a difference.
My poor little pooch is not exactly on the mend, as of today he was xrayed and now will be medicated for a heart condition. It's all been VERY stressful. I found a vet who would xray without anaesthesic, after begging my own vet to do it and was refused. So grateful, cos otherwise he wouldn't have survived AND he was misdiagnosed with kennel cough. Needless to say I have changed vets!!! The new vet who is brilliant! said it would have been coming on for some time. Wish animals could talk. I am praying he will have a few more happy years after meds kick in. My dog is actually only middle aged, he is from a proper breeder. You'd think they would check their breeding stock for these sorts of things, but I wouldn't exchange my dog anyway, he has the most beautiful nature and gives me so much joy and unconditional love.

my little kitty was diagnosed with a heart condition where her heart was beating more than twice as fast as it should when she was 9 and i was told she may only have 6 months to live...the meds worked a treat and she has only just passed away at 17 years old lots of love and care works wonders! try not to get too down about it...i know that horrible feeling all to well and its not nice all the best to your little pooch
