Thanks for getting back to me. Wylie is a cutie!
It's reassuring to hear that Wylie's vet said that his dark spots were nothing to worry about.
I just had never noticed that his skin was darker "down there" before. The second half of his "manhood" skin is darker in color and it's light pink at the other end. Also, around that area, it's also darker skin. It is the skin color rather than anything else.
Perhaps it's always been darker. <shrug> I just wanted to know if anyone else ever had any problem (bladder stones, kidney problems, etc.) which caused the skin to darken. Most likely I'm just paranoid.
When he did have a urinary track infection last spring, I made the vet run TWO tests to make absolutely sure that it was cleared up. What can I say? He's my little guy!
Thanks again!
If anyone else has any information about this, please let me know. You seem like a great group.
