    Does it look like this? If so, it's normal.[​IMG]

    As soon as I can get on a computer I will look. I’m on my iPad and no image is coming up. I’ll try my phone. There needs to be a easier way to post pictures. Ughhhh.

    I think I have to upgrade my account to post pictures. Jakes tummy, legs and armpits have a gray hue. It's just his normal coloring. I'm sure your baby is fine. It's just showing up as she gets older. Jake had a pink tummy at birth and it got darker over the past few months. He's almost 6 months now.

    Hi @Missyred

    You will have to post a photo of the position of the ears. They do change shape depending on for example, whether the dog is alert and trying to detect where the organism is coming from. I don't know whether that is what you are seeing.

    To do so you can upgrade your account or use a third party to host your photos. Please read the relevant thread in the following folder

    I don't know why you are rubbing oil on the dog's coat. In general, the internet is a very poor source of information--it is not filtered. If she has a skin irritation, I would go to the vet to determine the cause and proper treatment (mites? scratch? allergy?). If the skin is raw, then the vet may need to give your puppy an anti-inflammatory.

    The soapy water from your son's showering could be an irritant to the dog's skin.

    Hi. Yeah...as soon as I figure out how to post a picture I will. Ears stay they same..kinda like a flying nun. She’s chewing a lot. I’ll just wait and see.
    She doesn’t have anything on her to cause her to scratch. Vet not concerned yet but he’s the one advising to add oil to food and put a little organic coconut oil on where she’s scratching under her neck. It does help and it’s a natural anti fungal and anti bacterial.
