What is that spot????? This is so funny, I thought I would share. Last Thursday when I was blow drying Nala, I noticed a very black spot near her shoulder. I thought it might be a bruise although I couldn't figure out how she might have gotten a bruise. It was not tender and she hasn't been bothering with it. After a week it hasn't faded or changed at all. I took her to the vet today and he said her hair is changing colors and he thinks she is going to be very dark. It isn't a bruise at all but her hair. I decided I wasn't wasn't going to let it embarrass me and it is too funny not to share. I love her silver hair but I would love her is she were green so it doesn't really matter. She may look like a Dalmation/Yorkie if the rest of the hair doesn't catch up with the spot and that will be okay too, I will post a pic when I get a chance as I am not sure how to do it from my iPhone. |
Welcome to the club! LOL, many of us have gone to the vet for something that turned out to be very minor, but that's much better than not knowing. My Mylee has a spot on her coat that is darker than the rest. It just grew back in darker there. You're right, it gives them character. :) |
I know that feeling. I've rushed Brandi to the vet late at night for what amounted to an 180.00 butt wipe. She was just constipated. Mind you I did this twice. All they did was shaved her hair and expressed her anals. You live and learned. |
Tee hee! I've asked our vet some doozies too! I know they think I'm nuts in there! But we always laugh about it as I'm paying. They say I'm just being a good Mom, but I know they laugh when I leave. Oh well, gotta do what ya gotta do. |
Better safe than sorry! lol I am glad I took her because now I know and I'd rather laugh about it than still be worried if something was wrong with her. I'm sure this is the first of many trips to the vet for something silly but yhat's fine. She had a good visit and he went ahead and did her checkup since it is due next month so we wouldn't have to come back. She got a clean bill of health! Yea!! |
2 Attachment(s) pics of the "spot". :eek: Anybody seen anything like this? |
Gracie is blonde not silver but she does have a "spot' where her fur is growing in several shades darker. It's just one area about the size of a nickle. I guess it's her way of adding low lights to her hair style. |
I have the opposite going on. Kaji's always been dark, but he now has a lighter line going down the middle of his back. He looks like pepe le pew! |
How funny...but at least I am not the only one who does stuff like that! I took Sammy to the vet once, no not vet...the er vet at 2:30 in the morning...because I thought his penis was bleeding. The story is a little more involved..but I still felt stupid! |
I think it's always better to have peace of mind and be safe rather than sorry. Trixie has a small spot on the top of her head where the fur is darker in color than the rest of her head and shorter too......I showed her vet today since I only noticed it since she was groomed and the vet thought that it could just be a spot of darker hair coming in or that maybe the groomer put her topknot in too tight and caused some damage to the area. I explained to her that the bow was only in a short while, but she said is was still possible. Ugh....more to worry about ;) |
Glad I'm in good company! :) I worry so much about keeping Nala healthy that I may over react at times, but it does put my mind at ease just to go ahead and take her in and find out. The relieved feeling, even if it is funny, :D is so much better than the worry! I have to admit that I didn't know much, well anything, about Yorkies until we got Nala. I definitely didn't know about all of the health issues they could have and after learning so much on this site, I am always on the lookout for anything unusual with her. I am thankful for the wonderful people on this site who are so willing to share their knowledge! |
Kiko has dark spots too! She isn't quite 2 (she will be the end of March). She was the usual black and tan when we got her at 12 weeks. Then she started growing light hair, top of her head went white, back started growong in silver, legs, chest and beard a very pale, almost white, shade of blonde. Then out of the blue she got a really dark spot on her rump. Then a couple more. Now they have grown together into one darker spot and the rest of her back has started getting darker. After the spots appeared, the hair behind her ears darked to a nice tan/gold. Her face has started darkening and most recently she is getting spots of tan/gold on her legs. I am curious to see what color she ends up; I've given up trying to figure it out! Sorry if I was long winded. |
Yes Ive seen that before with my chachi. He lost some hair in spots on his back because of a skin problem and when the hair came back it was black. So he was silver with black spots. Eventually the spots changed to silver |

My Kat has got a brown spot on her head, where the fur is shorter and a completely different colour. It is not sore, raised, itchy etc so I am just keeping an eye on it. Had a lab who had skin cancer a few years ago and it was nothing like this so won't bother the vet unless it changes. She has never had a bow etc. X |
