Most probably contact dermatitis. The area on the skin is the area where he/she when lie down touches the floor right? The black patches are flaky and can be peeled off right? Smells weird too and might have some pimple like filled pus?

My puppy also got those weird black patches near his penile area. Took him to the vet yesterday and vet says contact dermatitis. Gave some cream and told us to apply at least 2 times a day. Then Monday see how. Still no improvement only jab wor. Now my puppy only 3 months old, so vet say too young to start on anti-biotic oral or jab. But the vet used Iodine to clean the area lor. Must peel off all the black spots as that is dried blood and will cause secondary infection.

Hope this helps.

I juz noticed some "black" pathes on Gizmo's upper body too. Noticed it a couple of weeks ago while bathing him, but i tot tats a scar resulting from the jabs/microchip implant. But recently, i noticed more around his upper body. Steffy mentioned it might be dermatitis, but its not flacky nor smells. Any idea wat it is? In fact there is one particular "black" patch with small black dots on it. Please help!! Thanks!
