I'm the proud owner of a 5 month old purebred bengal kitten, and boy is he a handful...
Over the past few days, my fiance and I have noticed that the kitten is licking himself, only in one specific spot over and over (the area around his right hip)! He's actually managed to get down to his under coat; and there are patches where his hair is so fine his skin is nearly visable...
We are worried about him quite a bit. He has been to the vet twice since we got him (in June) and he was said to be in perfect health both times. Its getting chilly quite quickly here in BC and I just don't think its shedding...
Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar, or has any advice; I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
