First of all - don't worry about thrombocytopenia - your puppy probably does not have this.

With thrombocytopenia, my dog's blood had became so thin (not clotting) that she was literally bleeding under her skin. And it was mainly noticeable on her stomach area (especially since there is no hair in that area). This condition worsens and can causes stomach, rectal, ear, mouth, and bleeding everywhere. Rather than scare you - I can tell you that my dog was given a lot of different medicines and eventually was completely well again.

With just one spot - remember that even a pinch or a puncture wound can cause bleeding under the skin that might stay for a while.

One poster just mentioned ringworm. I'm not sure exactly how that presents.

Just keep an eye on your dog. If she develops additional spots, take her to the vet, and she still probably does not have the condition that my dog had. She could have any number of problems - and many that might not be serious at all.

Good luck! Keep in touch.
