Some feale Yorkies will get very fine almost black areas on their tummies especially after their first heat. I actually asked my vet to scrub with a brush the tummy while my girl was under anes. for dental. I felt like a bad mommy when I took her in looking like that. I have a very sweet note from the vet in her post op instructions saying I was not a bad mommy because they couldn't scrub them off either. She explained they seem to hormone related and not a problem...Whew!!!!!! |
Wow I never realised that! Lucy has a really dark tummy, I wondered if it was exposure to the sun, except that it was winter when I first noticed it! I can stop worrying so much now thanks!
