Hey everybody. I used to be a regular, but apparently I forgot my password. So I just started a new account. For those of you who may remember, I have Pumpkin an orange and white fixed male. I adopted him in 2004 when he was 2. Well he's slowing down, but still active. 

However, he's had a dry scaly skin on his left ear for the last week. His ear is also warmer than his non-affected ear. He's still eating and playing with his room mate cat. He has an appt. with his vet on Thur. for a teeth cleaning. I just emailed the office to let them know I have some other concerns and outlined what has been happening.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Thanks

Can you post a picture of the the affected ear?   My first thought is ring-worm - has Pumpkin been outside recently?   Hopefully tomorrow you'll find out the answer at the vet's.   And
it's easy to treat!
