That's the cutest thing I have ever seen! Poor girl though, she kinda looks like barney.

[JeffT]

haha thats awsome, it would be cool if the was multi-coloured.

[Oliverian]

... Why would they paint her purple? Hopefully its not toxic. It does look kind of cool though.

[Lisa]

They didn't paint her purple, it's her medication.

Normally white, Pelusa turned violet after veterinarians administered a medicine to treat her for a skin condition. Her veterinarians said her coat should turn normal again within a month.

Lol, I can see it now. You walking your purple bear down the street trying to convince people he's perfectly tame. ;)

[Leo-Land]

There once was a green polar bear in some zoo because algae grew on it's fur. The fur being clear, it adopted the green tint.

Thats fake.........

[snakehunter]

yeah,good eye Gregg, you can see the purple tint on the rusted gate........ITS DOCTORED, FAKE, HOAX

[Lisa]

I dunno, reuters is pretty respectable in the news front.

I know of no medication that could possibly have such a side effect. Of course I am no pharmacist but I have studied some nursing and pharmacology and while some drugs do affect skin and pigmentation, none do so in such a dramatic way.

Think of it, if it were true those drug companies would have sold it to us humans in no time! Take a pill to change your hair color, no roots! Bling bling bling!!!

Would love to know if anyone here that works with vets could ask so we would know for sure?

im glad some people noticed!!! i mean cmon! the gate is purple... its not even well edited! you would've thought that is someone wanted to pass this off as real, they would've at least done a good job editing! my gran could do better..... and shes never even touched a computer!
anyway i dont think a drug would have THAT drastic of an affect!
