White Head? 
Do their heads turn white when they get scared?

yes. my ig’s head turns very pale every time we go to the vet. it takes a lot for hers to gwt that way. and also when they are very hot. think of the white like a white shirt... it doesn’t absorb as much heat. same goes for when their head turns dark, that’s when they’re too cold.

OMG, maybe mine was over heated!! It happened to me while she was in the shower, I always feel the water first to make sure it’s not too hot, I put her in and she seemed fine then the phone rang and I went to get it really quick and when I came back she was all white (her head) so I picked her up and wrapped her up in towel. She seemed OK, I put her in her favorite window and gave her some food and she was back to her normal colors in a couple of minutes. It was so weird!! I thought I was going to have a heart attack!!!

maybe she just got really scared of the water. mine hates the tub and the shower even more, even though i’ve been bathing her for 3 years. she goes beserk when the shower spray gets on her head.
just make sure that the temperature of the water is only slightly warmer than lukewarm and it should be ok.
