Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 20 lbs
My dog has a blue spot on her stomach, right beside one of her nipples. It appeared yesterday morning and it’s about an inch long and an inch wide. She’s been eating, pooping and playing normally, but she is not spayed (yet). What could have caused this discoloration?? Is it a sign of something more serious?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is most likely a blown vein underneath which could have been caused by some form of trauma. I would recommend continuing to monitor this for now. If not resolved in 1 week, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
