Are you asking if a reddened raised area on your cat could have been caused by where they shaved him to draw blood?

Where on your cat do you see this; the side of the neck? (that's where they usually draw blood from)

When they use the clippers to shave really closely, prior to doing blood draws, sometimes they shave a little too closely and it can cause those areas to be a little pinkish and you can see the lines from the clipper blade.

Can you take a picture of what you see and post it here?

Did you give your Vet's office a call?

Actually i got a hold of the woman who was caring for him all week.

She also saw this fur loss on his side (its not from the shot afterall).
She thinks its just another wound he would have gotten before I trapped him last friday night. (that it may have taken this long for the fur to fall out.)

She did the black light test for ringworm.

She said he should be fine especially with the antibiotic. but I am to keep an eye on it for sure.

We still dont know exactly what his issue even is. She still believes it is a bite wound. The vet who stitched him up never called her back - but he wrote it as a laceration on the form.

thanks - I will try to get a picture if i can - hes in a dog crate for the next few days
