| Odd Number of Nipples! Last night, I had Otis on his back, and I was searching his belly for fleas.....I kept mistaking his nipples for fleas.....then I noticed he had 5 nipples on the left side, and 4 on the right!! One nipple is just totally missing!!!! It's sooo strange!! I know his nipples don't serve any purpose since he's a boy, but does anyone else's Yorkie have this oddity????? Please go count right now so I can feel "normal"!!!! |

| Please go count right now so I can feel "normal"!!!! LOL! Junebug And I did (go count). Gus has five on each side but I can say that one is so flat it is really just a tiny black speck. I thought it was dirt at first.

| Uh oh, Yoda only has FIVE nipples TOTAL! Maybe he's a genetic freak? Only three on the right side and two on the left side. Are all the nipples on Gus and Otis like totally noticeable? Because we only see five! |

| This is cracking me up. I had trouble finding Gus'. At first I didn't see the ones highest up at all. I was scratching at the one that looks like dirt. Poor thing. Maybe wait until he is cold. J/K of course.

| i know it's a little off the subject . . . well no not really but . . Mark Wahlberg has an odd number of nipples . . . he has THREE . . . supernumerary nipple A supernumerary nipple (also known as a third nipple, accessory nipple, polythelia or polymastia) is an additional nipple occurring in mammals including humans. Often mistaken for moles, supernumerary nipples are diagnosed at a rate of 2% in females, less in males. The nipples appear along the two vertical "milk lines" which start in the armpit on each side, run down through the typical nipples and end at the groin. They are classified into eight levels of completeness from a simple patch of hair to a milk-bearing breast in miniature. Polythelia refers to the nipple alone while polymastia denotes the presence of glandular tissue. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?...&curtab=2222_1 . . . so i guess dogs can have a Supernumerary Nipple also.

| Well i'm on of those 2% in females that have one. I thought it was a mole, until I got pregnant I asked my doctor what it was and he said it was a extra nipple so when I got breast milk there it was leaking breast milk too. strange thing i thought.. |

Oh THANK YOU FastEddie I feel so much better now... Chloe has 10 everybody and I talked to FastEddie because I thought I would be the only one counting!! I feel so releaved you all count.... Hey I laughed so hard with relief after reading all these posts. I have been so worried over the last 2 days, Someone hit my car a few days ago while I was stopped at a red light, needless to say I am pouring out the $$ and did not want to go to the vet for no reason but that was my next step. Two nights ago, I was just brushing her (right after ending her first heat) I found a few "bumps" that were never there before and got frantic thinking they were tics. I convinced myself they must be. I had 2 doggie people check her (Groomer & a breeder) they both said nipples. How can they just grow after a heat. I am 100% sure they were not there 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago when she started her heat. ( I knew every inch of her or so I thought) I checked my little puppy (4 months) she is hairy like a teddy bear and I can't find one. What a tizzy I have been in.. I WILL sleep tonight But now I have another question for all of you... During my frantic days of thinking nipples were tics, I called my girlfriend who has (Maizie) a hot dog, and she only has 6. Then a breeder nearby said all different breeds have different numbers. Now it doesn't sound like that here, it sounds like each dogs may have a different number. Now I am wondering (just curiousity - not frantic any longer) If the number of nipples has to do with the number of puppys a mommy yorkie may have... hmmm PS Thanks again fasteddie, I feel really good right now
