Hello guys.
I've had Sawyer for almost a month and we couldn't be happier with him. But over the past few days I've noticed scratches and gashes on him. When I was petting him 3 days ago I looked in his ear and saw what looked like a scratch in the ear and it was about the size of a: . but it was noticeable. I told my husband to look at him and he said it was probably because he was scratching himself in the ear too hard. Just on Saturday I noticed above his eye that some fur was missing, and there was what looked like a scratch that had scabbed up. I told my husband to look at it again and he was like oh that's because he's scratching himself.
So I told him to cut his claws with clippers today. Well he went to do that and he said that his nails aren't long or sharp at all. And when I came home from work today right on his left ear where the ear meets the top of his head it looks like a red blood bubble. Well I told my husband to make an appointment tomorrow ASAP so we can see what's wrong with our poor cat.
I'm wondering if it could be fleas? But if it were fleas wouldn't we be having issues too? I had an episode with fleas working in an old warehouse, and it didn't take long for those suckers to bite me and I noticed those suckers right away. I'm really worried and tomorrow can't come soon enough so the vet can see what's wrong. It seems like every day a new gash or something is on him.
