My Oreos black furr on her bottom is changing from black to brown.. should I be worried? She’s a black and white piggy but it’s just her bottom area that is changing.

Hi

Have you given her a gentle bum bath in baby warm water to make sure that it is not just dried and caked urine?
Bathing (including cleaning grease glands)

Fur can change colour but it does so to mostly white or black patches and - in red coated piggies - to dun and brown coat tones. Coat-colour-changes-add-your-own

Unfortunately, without any further information on the age and health of your piggy or any pictures, that is as far as I can take it sight unseen.
