I have a few ferals that live outside. We have TNR'd them and feed them and just generally look out for their health.
One of them, named Tiger has started to look really weird of late.
As i mentioned there are three and during our mild winters their coats puff up a bit and get thicker... and then they shed up till summer... our summers are blistering...
I saw tiger a few weeks ago and noticed that his fur around his neck was all patchy... Then last night i saw him again and... he had sort of lost hair right up to his shoulders, but the rest of his was still covered in thick fur.
His head and neck were covered in a shorter fur.
It looked really odd and it's a little weird because the other two seem to have shedded uniformly all over and just had a general coat thinning...
Admittedly, of the 3 Tigers fur got the thickest over winter - is this just a different shedding pattern? or is this vet worthy?
He has yet to be neutered so, it could all be seen to at once. The problem is that he's is like houdini when it comes to the trap.
