**Super_Dogs** Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I noticed this morning one of my 14 day old puppies has a red mark on her tummy. It is a light red colour and is about 1cm by 0.5cm. Any suggestions what this may be? Do dogs get birth marks? She is feeding fine, putting on weight consistency and is not crying. So she does not seem unwell. Thanks for your help.

Guest Willow Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you're able to take a picture, someone might be able to identify what it is, but if you are at all concerned, the best thing would be to get the vet out (I would avoid taking two week old pups into the vet unless you absolutely have to, because of their immature immune systems) What kind of puppies are they???

**Super_Dogs** Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 She is a lab. Unfortunetly I can't take a photo now as I am not at home. Good idea though. I don't think it has anything to do with her belly button as it is alittle lower. I am trying to find some photos of ringworm on the net. What I can find does not look like her mark. If it was on child I would say it is a birthmark - but I have never seen a birthmark on a dog before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

**Super_Dogs** Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 a suck mark from another puppy ? I didn't even think of this! It could be this as I have seen a few of them sucking other puppies. Well I know if it is gone when I check this afternoon that this was it. Thanks.
