4 month old MaltiPoo with blackend skin disease!?!?

cmiculinic · 03-05-2008, 06:07 PM

I have a 4 month old MaltiPoo who's skin started darkening yesterday. Tonight almost all her skin is practically black. I tried doing some research and all I could come up with is blackened skion disease- but almost all the cases I've found are in older dogs? Is is possible for her to have this- or could it be something else? She is acting completely normal besides the skin color change. *sighs* I am FOR SURE taking her to vet tomorrow, because I definately want to make sure something doesn't get worse. But- any ideas or opinions??

Have you contacted your dog's breeder?

I would contact your breeder before you see the vet, the parents might have the same condition and they might have helpful information for you and the vet.

I hope others will have help for you too.
