Hi all, hoping someone here can help. I have noticed a small bald patch on my cat's front leg and am wondering what it might be, and the best course of action.
She is very fair and I thought I had seen a glimpse of the patch in the past, but today was the first time I got a good look and was able to touch it. She did not seem uncomfortable or concerned when I touched it. I can't see any broken skin, but there is a slightly darker mark in the middle of the patch.
I took her to the vets around 3 months ago as she had fleas (the previous treatment we were using stopped working for her), and they gave me a new treatment. She has reacted very well to it and has stopped scratching, and the house seems to be clear of fleas. I was wondering if this patch could be flea related? The treatment said it could take 3-4 monthly applications to be effective.
I've attached a picture. I don't want to head straight to the vets if it's unnecessary, but will do if she needs treatment!
