3 y/o Chi Mix: Belly has turned from pink to black.

Hello all, and thanks in advance.

After some searching, we have found some horrific outcomes to this black belly symptom.

Other than this, our rescued 5lb Chihuahua mix has been normal as ever. He had kennel cough last year, but other than that has been healthy. We have regularly given him a very small amount of trifexis, but we have been giving him that for 6+ months, and it just recently turned dark, and now almost black.

Thanks again!

Bradley, Becca, Alfie & Dexter.

I'm going with the age thing, too. That is unless you have changed feeding habits drastically or the dog has allergies. Age gets to dogs just like it does to us. One of my cockers went thru the same thing the older she got. I have groomed dogs for many many years, and this is not uncommon. Ask your vet. They take phone calls, too.
