Discoloration near puppy's "PP"

• Discoloration near puppy's "PP" christina Posted : 4/4/2006 3:53:37 PM Hi - I'm hoping someone can help me.  I don't know if this is my own paranoia, but this is my first puppy.  Winston is a 6.5 month male Havanese, just spayed, healthy in every way.  I noticed recently that in his "private area" he is getting some discoloration, they look like birth marks.  He's undercarriage is all white so it's noticeable, but all around his PP there are light brown splotches developing and a few teeny tiny bumps - not pus filled or anything gross, it looks to me like what "teets" would look like on a female puppy, but then again, I wouldn't even know what that really looked like.  He's not irritated, he doesn't seem to notice it, the splotches are not raised, they are flat against the skin.  Can anyone tell me what this is and if it is normal?  Thank you in advance!!

You can ask your vet if you're concerned. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• christina Posted : 4/4/2006 4:56:37 PM hahahahaha - I TOTALLY didn't even think about that - but that many nipples?????  Spotted tummies - this is why I rely on this site - thought never crossed my mind.... If I saw this type of discoloration on myself, I would assume I had melanoma and skin cancer, which is why I needed to learn more from experienced dog owners....Thank you! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tashakota Posted : 4/21/2006 1:39:29 PM My little boy has nipples all the way up to his front legs.  They are small, round, flat, dark spots on his pinkish/whitish skin.    As long as they are symmetrical (one on each side) and not all over like chicken pocks, you should be ok.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Katrina Flanagan Posted : 4/27/2006 5:24:44 PM Afte one of my dogs was spayed she developed the same discolorations. I did every test you can imagine and it was nothing. If you are really worried ask your vet, otherwise unless it causes a problem or spreads I wouldn't worry about it too much. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• loveukaykay Posted : 4/27/2006 5:34:31 PM Kayla had spots like that around her pp sometimes and the vet said it was a form of blackhead and gave me some cream that flushed it and they went away.  They were not raised either.   It may just be a spotted belly like others have said.  I would ask though just so you will know and not worry about it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
