| I don't know what your dog's blackened skin looks like .I remember once going near a beach with Cookie ,he seemed fine the whole time. I was pretty far from the beach. I would say about 100 feet before I even touched sand. I was in the parking lot actually lol. I ended up leaving because I noticed little tiny,tiny specs on my legs that I thought was dirt. Well I was getting itchy and left immediately! When I got back to our hotel I noticed Cookie's neck,inside his ears,outside his ears and parts on his back were black. It looked like dirt rubbed on. I tried washing it off but it did not come off. Within 2 days it was much darker and the skin looked a little raised to me. I took him to the vet and explained what happened. She told me the tiny black stuff I saw were beach lice! It was soooooo tiny that you can't see what it is. She prescribed some sort of cleanser, I forgot the name ! It cleared up after a few weeks. I was soooo itchy for about 2 weeks! Genie Cookie Lola Angel |

| Could be yorkie crud, black ear, etc. It affects the extremities legs, ears, nose and does spread If this is it keep the area clean with alchol, and apply lotrimon 2 percent, 2 to 3 times a day. Be patient it will take awhile to clear.

| All of the posts are interesting. If this just appeared, then I would disregard Charlie's symptoms. Since his skin was in such bad condition, he also was licking his feet. The new vet did a swab between his toes, and he has fungus. Believe we have talked about that previously or it was Kathy. Good luck and will watch your post for a diagnosis. -Deborah

| no she was scraped and taped and all that stuff 30 days ago and had bacteria infection which simplecef given for 20 days so I would think if it was a fungus or anything else it would be gone by now but it is still there - wouldn't the antibiotic kill all that stuff ? why is it still black ? |

| WalGreens, CVS, Rite-Aide....WalMart.....No it won't hurt her. It's the only thing that has been found affective.

Because vets are baffled about this stuff. If you go to Vassarsquare.com. Terri Shumski (deseased breeder and judge) has information on her website. It's known to yorkie breeders by yorkie crud, black ear and a multitude of other names.
