Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sri Didymus is super cute!

You can use hydrogen peroxide, dawn and baking soda. I am not sure if they will work. Worst case is you can clip the fur and it will grow back white. I know that isn't an instant answer but its a reasonable one!

Good luck!
