Being as how the darker spot is the same texture as the rest of the comb and not a black but a purple black, it is more of a sign of heart disease. Being as though it is only a spot and not the whole comb...you caught it earlier enough to try and reverse the damage.

Search for health foods, preferably organic. ONLY healthy treats. Maintain his weight. Try different things to keep him cool during the heat of the day to limit his stress and you should have lots of good times yet to come with him.
