I gave Squeaks another flea bath today, and found a bald patch I am certain was not there yesterday (But she is a fuzzy little thing. The fleas seem to leave the most dirt in that spot though. When she was handed over to me that spot was almost solid).

I believe it's due to the massive colony of fleas I keep putting dents in with baths (can't wait until it's fine to put advantage on her), but the dark spot in the middle is bothering me. Wat does it look liketo you? She goes for her shots in three weeks, but if it is anything contagious, I will get her in sooner.

She has a few more bald patches (at the base of her left ear, the top of her head, between her shoulders,) but they're harder to see (smaller) and no two are the same shape, and none of them have the central dark patch. Only the one pictured has it. Could it just be her normal skin color?

The one on her back is. The other ones she scratches. I bathe her every few days (so as to not dry her skin out) and fleacomb her regularly in between baths, but she's only 5 weeks old (estimate) so I'll have to wait a few weeks before I can effectively combat her infestation.
