I just noticed a pink bald spot (0.5cm) on the rear hind leg of my 3yr old torbie cat, right by the 'elbow' joint. I adopted her 6+ months ago, and have seen her gnaw on that spot before but not to an extent where hair loss occurred. Doesn't seem to bother her now. No other symptoms, not on any medications other than flea prevention. She's the only (house) cat we have, and occasionally goes into apt building hallway for a walk. Been eating 50% dry food and 50% wet (not raw). Currently using Advantage II and she's due for another dose in a week.
- Wanted to know if I should give her her Advantage II dose now (didn't see an fleas on flea comb)?
- Is there anything I can do to keep her from chewing on it or sooth the area?
- Is it possible that it will heal on its own with no intervention?
- At what point should I go to the vet?
- How do I check to see if it is ringworm?
- Is it just a callus?
