Shadows Mom Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 All of Shadow's nipples look bruised, they have dark patches around them. I've never seen her chewing at herself or anything, but she must be. The odd thing is the dark colours are uniform, not mottled like a normal bruise. Shes got a vets appointment next Wednesday, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has seen this on their dogs. Heres a picture, its not that great tho =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc4pack Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Kinda hard to tell, but a lot of dogs have variances in the pigmentation on bellies, including nipples. The colors in that pigmentation also vary pretty wildly too.... bruising on white bellies tends to look a lot more red and fade to more purplish tinges... My eyes may be deceiving me but I see more brown . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Mom Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The spots have just appeared in the last 12 hours tho. Thats why I assumed bruising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickkers Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 are you sure they just aren't ticking? Clover, although she's only got a couple of 'freckles' on her whole rest of her body has her entire belly covered with ticking/freckles...and they appeared overnight in batches. Again, these were brown (because she's red) but that's just her... what I see on Shadow looks a lot like what Clover has. Zena just has one big patch on her belly so far ... it's super cute!

OurBoys Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 are you sure they just aren't ticking? Ticking crossed my mind too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Dazzle got ticking spots on her belly suddenly too. So that is something that can show up pretty much overnight. That is sort of what the picture looked like to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc4pack Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ticking....pigmentation...... Are these places tender ? Is there any discharge or crustiness? Anything other than color change? Young pup's coloring can and will change... it may take close to a year with some dogs for all the ticking to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet_ceana Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ceana's nipples are very speckled. I think ticking as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caveninit Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 My puppy (12 weeks) has ALOT of ticking all over, and more still popping up on her belly. Your picture looks alot like what my girl has, but she has tons more. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
