Hi!
My dog's skin pigment changed recently. It was just regualr skin color, but now it had Black/brown blotches on it. Her skin looked like this when she was a puppy. Is this nornal? It changed on her belly, thighs and legs. I don't know if it is anywhere elce. Is this something that happens as the season changes?
I'm really worried about her. Thanks!

The blotches arn't raised. Threr just like the skin, just different colors.

Has she been licking those areas a lot? Excessive licking can cause discoloration of the skin and common areas are the belly, thighs, and legs. My dog had this happen on her belly and her excessive licking was caused by her allergies which in turn caused a skin infection making her lick even more. Have your vet check the areas for any type of bacterial infection and they can prescribe an antibiotic. Once the licking stops her skin should return to its normal pigment.

Just sun spots probably!
