Skin is Changing Colors My Yorkie will be a year old at the end of July. When we got her she had a nice pink chest and tummy, now her skin is getting darker and her chest spotted. Is this normal? |
Those skin changes are not typical. Usually it is allergies or some kind of irritation. What color are the spots? Max had a few light black spots on his undercarriage when he was younger. Antibiotics cleared them up and then they returned. I think he had 2 rounds of antibiotics that year. We later found that staying off Bermuda grass may have helped him. Could have been an allergy to that particular kind of grass because the spots never returned. Since she is close to turning 1 year old, I'm guessing you will a trip to the vet soon for the 1 year vaccination boosters and an exam. Have the vet take a look at her chest. |
Kind of a grayish color. It kind of matches her silver/gray hair. Yes she will be a year soon and will be seeing the vet so I'll ask him about it. Thank you for your reply. |
Darkening and spotting can also occur from exposure to the sun. (This happens frequently with hairless dogs and cats.) Could the dog be getting too much sun? |
Can you send us some picture? |
