I have a 17 month old male bichon/poodle. It seems that overnight the skin on his belly turned spotted. His skin was all pink now there are brown markings almost like a cow. Does anyone know why this would happen? Shouild I take him to the vet?

My 150lb mastiff/rot mix had the same skin pigment change last summer. We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with a bacteria/yeast infection. The gave us Malacetic Wet Wipes to use to clean the area and Cephalexin caplets and Prednisolone for treatment also. It cleared up quickly and the color has returned to normal.
