I would be bothered that the vet wasn't concerned. There is definitely something going on to cause Boomer's belly to blacken like that. It can be many things.
The spots -- my Max had a couple on his undercarriage. Antibiotics cleared them. They did return and he had another round of antibiotics. Could have been a staph infection, but also may have been an allergy to a specific type of grass at the park we were visiting.
Could be allergies, infection, thyroid (usually hypothyroidism), yeast overgrowth, reaction to mites, or something else. I would have a dermatologist take a look.
