I am feeling really bad. I believe DS and Ceci had their first negative encounter last night. They had interacted before, but only under my supervision, and DS was always gentle with her (hes 1 1/2yrs). Well last night I found a nasty looking bald spot about the size of a quarter on Ceci's neck. It had a teensy bit of blood on it.
After panicking and wanting to rush her to an e-vet, I realized my son was probably the culprit. I dont know how this could have happened, he is never around her if im not there. Im guessing he went into his room and she was there, and he tried to grab her, and maybe Ceci jumped away, leaving this bald spot? I dont like the look of it at all, so I took her in the bathroom and put a bit of Triple Antibiotic on the wound, and while I was attending it, I noticed two other bald spots, very small in size, but no wound like the first, just a small hairless patch.
Could this have indeed been done by my son? Or could this be caused by a totally different reason? If I dont see an improvement in the wound, I believe i'll have to take her to the vet.
Please help!
