Why does my dog have a belly bruise after normal vet visits?

My dog went to the vet two days ago. Everything came back normal. Blood and poop test. He went to the vet today. And Now I found a bruise on his belly. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

Hello, Its hard to give you definitive advise, because this could be nothing or something. Most likely, t could also be a simple insect bite or minor trauma that resolves on its own within a couple of days. However, I'd recommend monitoring that bruise for any changes and the rest of his skin and gums for new bruising or bleeding. Mysterious bruises can be a sign of blood disorders. If Charlie experiences any additional bruising, bleeding, or changes in appetite or behavior, I'd recommend taking him to the vet right away. I hope this helps.
