I've got a carolina dog ( I seem to start with this line all the time but oh well lol) and before we got him he had a bad habit of chewing his feet... We've had him since November and since we have put him on a grain and wheat free food he has stopped chewing so I'm assuming it was an allergy or stress from his last home (other dogs picked on him bad) now I noticed while I was giving him the good ole hose down bath (he loves moving water and hates tubs usually I shower him but it was beautiful out today) a bald patch on his right elbow.. well right beside his elbow... he has No fleas, no nothing... and no skin problems so I have no clue what it is... looking at it its got a black patch of skin (very very small) in the middleish of it. But his palate is black and pink and most of his skin is pink so I'm guessing this just must be his skin pigment in that area.. there are no short hairs (as if he was chewing and didn't get the whole hair) in the area just regular length ones around the patch and None where the bald patch is (hence the title... I found a bald patch) has anyone seen this on their dog before and if so what was it... it doesn't seem to bug him but for all I know he could be chewing on it when I'm not around[ I added pictures of it that I took today after he dried off hope they work. If not I have them on photobucket
