This is the only place i can find on her, also she and her new sister play lots of fighting and kicking, could that be it?

Thanks, appreciate any help.


Edi: okay, used a uv light in a dark room and didn't find a thing, is any uv light work or it should be some specific power? mine says 12 UV LED FLASHLIGHT

Ringworm always looks dry and flaky with hair loss when I have seen it....not saying I have to be right about this though. This looks like some hair loss, but not necessarily that. It also doesn't look like an injury exactly.

You can sometimes detect ringworm with a blacklight. I don't think a UV light qualifies. But even a blacklight won't always work. To me, this doesn't really look like ringworm, but the only way to be sure is to have it tested by a Vet.
