Can dogs develop brown discoloured areas on their skin for no apparent reason? I have found about three on his tummy which I think I'm going to have to get checked out. He is licking the area a bit but it is that area that male dogs love licking anyway . There is also a purplish looking mark there , perhaps he's been nibbling at it? _________________ Happiness is watching my dog chase leaves dancing in the breeze. |

I don,t know about a brown mark. I do know that if a dog has a cut or something and keeps licking the area it will discolour the fur, but its normally a pinky red colour! No idea about the purple mark! _________________ Grace & Dexter |

gypsy gets that, dont know why but when removed the hair from her tummy (she has very fine hair that knots easy) they went away after like a day or two
they don't appear to have come back. _________________ microchiping and grooming www.chipnclip.co.uk

Ooops.
Need to put my glasses on. Thought this said Ski Lessons.
I would only take our dogs to the vet if I was worried about a lesions.
If it has just developed I would leave it a day or so to see what happens.
But you will know your dog better than anyone and you will know when it needs checked out.

Turns out it is a skin infection so for the next few days no more romping through long grass plus special shampoo for daily baths (thankfully just his tummy!) for about 5 days. Can't see either of us enjoying either of those recommendations! .
Jack those ski lessons are sounding more appealing by the minute! _________________ Happiness is watching my dog chase leaves dancing in the breeze. |

Charlene's dog Tina is suffering from the same thing at the moment.
Glad it isn't serious. _________________ John Thomson
