| Dark skin where shaved for spay. So Penny was spayed over 3 weeks ago. Everything is healed and everything but I noticed where she was shaved on her belly the skin is darker then her other skin where there is hair and where her privates are. Has this happened to anyone else?

| Skin darkening Our pup was spayed and has also had two skin scrapings. On her underside there was some mild darkening where she was shaved that faded over time. It also took a long, long time for hair to grow back in that area and it still seems a little bare. I honestly don't know what it would look like if she hadn't been spayed. Her hair on her underside is thinner that her back anyway. In the area of the scrapings looking for a source of hair loss on her shoulder (scrapings were negative) the skin darkened, too. I was worried because I read once when she was a pup and I was learning how to do top knots that if the skin turned black it meant it had died and hair would never grow back. This was NOT the case in the scrapings. The hair has grown back slowly and I don't see any darkened skin any longer. We are still working on finding the reason for the bald spot, which seems to want to return when she's off meds. |

| I guess I will just keep an eye on it and mention it to the vet if we go in for something else.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | When you say "darkened" do you mean all solid, one shade..? Or is it more "dotty" looking...?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Okay...then I don't think it's that "dotty" inflammation of the skin we sometimes see in dogs. Sounds more just like genetic skin color to me.

| It was just weird because it was only where they shaved and all her other skin is much lighter. I really have no idea if it happened to Callie or not because that was 10 years ago. I did google it and found that it happens to a lot of different dogs after they are spayed.
