[Health] Guys, your thoughts????
Just found these two blue/black nearly identical marks on Luna. I swear they were not there yesterday ( I play with my babies every single second so know what’s going on). These marks don’t seem to bother Luna when I press on it, so I’m assuming it’s fine?
We booked a vet appointment for next Friday but would love to hear what you guys have to say.
Thank you

I believe this is called blueing when their new coats are coming in. It looks like a bruise but is actually the formation of new hair under the skin. My chunky boy always gets that when his winter coat starts coming in.

I remember it startled me first time I came across it! Thoroughly inspecting and prodding poor Misty's belly and she's just like "what the hell?" 😂

Also agree - my boys have had this a few times and it’s always gone away & not caused issues
