I noticed fur missing on the base of my cats tail about a week ago. I checked it and it appeared to be just bare skin. Just today I noticed more fur missing and there is yellow pus coming out of the area. My cats have recently been fighting, so I think it might be from that (they have been separated for a few weeks now because of the fighting).
I was just wondering if this is something serious. Should I bring her to the vet? This is actually not the first time this happened to her. When we first got her (she is 3 years old now) an abscess formed on her neck. The vet cleaned it out and gave her some antibiotics.
I'd also like to note that she has not shown a major change in behaviour. She does get angry when I pick her up and sometimes when I pet her, but I think it is related to to the incident with the other cat. I would bring them together in a room to get them used to each other again and she didn't like it, so now she won't let me pick her up as she thinks I will bring her downstairs with the other cat (I am letting this incident slide a bit as I am getting a new apartment soon and I hope they will have a fresh start then).
