Help! Black "pimples"? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MsFamousHepburn · 03-30-2009, 02:52 PM

Hey everyone,
I was petting Xavier's belly today and noticed a few little spots. The spots are like raised skin with black in the center. He's not on flea meds because we live in WA and I hate the thought of treating him for something he doesn't have. Anyway, what do you guys think it could be?

Thanks

Oh i dont know, i dont think i've heard of this before...is he scratching at them or do they seem to be bothering him in any way??? I would take him in for a check up....it could be nothing at all...but this way the vet could tell you what this is.

All Bumps on Dog Skin do not mean Cancer

Hopefully its just a skin rash....Xavier feel better soon!!!

Hopefully! Thank you! I'll try and take him tomorrow to get checked out. The only problem is that I'm currently home sick...ugh.

This might be a possibility?...

I had come home from work one day and my husband was concerned because Chip had these little dark pimples on his belly. Chip has never had fleas or any skin problems. He said he just couldn't figure what it could be. He said he thought they were fleas, but he couldn't pick them off. So I asked him to show me.

Well...I was relieved to find that there were no fleas or skin problems. My hubby was trying to pick off his nipples!!

Boy was he embarrassed!

We both just died laughing! They are very tiny and I could see where he might think they were something other than nipples.

I hope that it is something as simple as this and that there is not a problem with your baby.

Joey's got a bunch of nipples too, I wonder what they were cause he's a boy, I didn't think he'd have those, but he does. If they are evenly spaced, this is what they are.

By the way, Joey has 8.

every time i hear stories like this i can't help but laugh because my sister called me home from college to show me these weird bumps on her male cats belly. there were about 6 of them and there was no hair around them. So being the good sister that i am, i drove the two hours home to look at the cat. i couldn't find anything unusual and my sister started yelling how could i not see those bumps. she pointed them out and i said, those are his friggin nipples. LOL

back to the OP, could the black pimples be blackheads like people get? they are fun to pick at on dogs, or at least i think so LOL

MsFamousHepburn · 03-30-2009, 10:07 PM

You know I've been wondering if they could be nipples...lol. There are about 6-8 of them and they are kinda evenly located on his tummy. I thought they may be puppy blackheads but when I tried to "pop" them nothing happened. Hmm...
