Hello everyone! I am a new user here and would like to ask any of you your professional opinion regarding my feline's health. Below are two pictures I took of her bald patch. It has been visible for approximately a week. Initially, I didn't think much of it thinking maybe she was just shedding however, her fur seems to only be thinning in this one area. I also couldn't help but notice that the area around it is irritated and red. (you probably won't see that due to my camera's flash. I am considering taking her to the vet soon. Here is some additional information if it helps.
-She is a female
-She is approx. 7-8 years of age.
-She doesn't have worms/parasites
-She is a bit overweight but my family is trying to help maintain her weight
-she licks her fur a lot (noticed she has a little bit of a dandruff issue)
