Default Remedy for pink belly?

Anyone got a remedy for pink belly? Maybe a solution for washing the fur in? We tossed three coyotes that were pink from arse to armpits and now have a large male that has pink armpits, the belly is almost pure white though.
My wife has started tanning some of our fur so should we tan it for a wall hanger or clean it somehow? Any advise appreciated.

I believe pink in the belly and armpit areas, is the early signs of mange.

Reddish hair on the belly is definitley the precursor to full blown mange. If the hair is not coming off yet, or no scaley patches on the legs, I usually do them up, with lots of RAID sealed in a garbage bag for a couple of hours. Use precautions. I'm not sure you can do anything with changing the color.
