Skin blackened on dogs bottom
Hello, I have a 10 year old Brittany girl in generally good health. For some years she has had a black growth on her tummy in summer (when her allergies are worst). My vet said it was yeast, if memory serves, and recommended topical vinegar, which got rid of it. This season the vinegar worked on her tummy but she got a very similar looking condition on inside of hind legs, adjacent to mammaries. This doesn't respond to vinegar, eucerin, antibiotic ointment, etc. A trainer took a peek and said it was "elephant skin", and recommended spraying with distilled water (which I'm doing). I have some doubts. Can anyone think of other possible diagnoses? Thanks, Cathy |

I'd consider getting some bloodwork done, and ask about endocrine tests. buglady take out the dog before replying |
