Answer #2

well, it could be flies biting him. They bite the dog, the blood will spill out a bit, then it dries. Causing the brownish color. If it’s small I wouldn’t worry about it, but then again, if it’s not washing off. I’m not sure what it could be. Long as it’s not effecting him I guess it’s okay: P

Answer #3

If the skin looks good under the fur…and the only thing “different” about this fur, is that it’s brownish…then nope, no reason to worry…

Answer #4

If you’re worried, try seeing a vet, but take the advice of these people first… vets can be expensive.
