Hello. I've found there are dozens of tiny, long/thin black specks on my dog's belly, concentrated mostly to one side of his penis, but not closer than half an inch or so to it. It took an hour to remove 10-20 of them. They act like slivers (you know, if you pinch the skin and bring it to a point at the opening of the hole, then push the fingernail against the bottom moving toward the hole, a sliver will just slip right out the way it came in). But it's hard to tell. Are they little bugs burrowing into his skin? I think at least some have been there for years, but it was only tonight, when I was treating a scratch, that I noticed some were just barely beneath the dead-skin layer... so I started pinching the skin, saw that they move underneath, and removed a bunch. I put some on tissue, so maybe I can buy a magnifying glass and look at them... but there was also a bulbous fresh-pimple-like pus-filled mass which had like 4 tiny ones encircling it. I'm very concerned! Any ideas??

I have no idea but I did find this on the Web. Go and take a look at this link. The description is similar to yours.

I've dealt with dogs my whole life and I can say that this is a new one on me. I would seriously consider taking your pup to the vet to make sure that this isn't serious. It does sound like some kind of parasite or perhaps it could be some kind of rash. But it sounds like it does need treatment. Contact your local vet. If you don't have a vet, perhaps you can contact your local SPCA for advice. Good luck.

Get that pup to a vet asap
This could be parasites
This could be a rash
This could be anything
Only your vet will know, and know how to cure it!
Good Luck

damn! you will possibly desire to be limber. maximum men does not whinge with regard to the streach marks (nor might the admit to doing this the two). Streach marks are frequently for gaining and dropping weight very immediately. you will possibly desire to have lost lots a weight immediately to have the flexibility to do what your doing.
