Puppy belly’s skin turning dark

[Youngishgrandma]

Hello-I noticed today my 15 week old’s cute belly with pink skin is now a dark shade of grey. She is a fawn. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Darkening of skin would be considered normal, if the skin begins to turn black it is a sign of damage usually caused by allergies or yeast infection, etc.

A picture would better illustrate any problems, it's hard to know exactly what you're dealing with without one.

That seems unusually dark to me, although I can only compare to my own dogs. I would recommend you take the dog to the vets and get any necessary tests.

Thanks for the reply. I. Took your advice. She went to the vet and the vet was not concerned. Not yeast. She wants to watch it. My pup is not bothered by it so we will keep an eye on her.
