Loki, is 7 months old, he is up to date on all vaccinations, worm and flea treatments. He is a 100% indoor cat and has never been outside other than on a verandah.
About a month ago I noticed him trying to take his collar off,as if he was in discomfort. When I removed it I could feel some small raised bumps, I thought he had scratched himself so I left the collar off of him for a few days. He kept trying to itch that area and I noticed he had cut the area and it was scabbed over. He saw a holistic vet who gave me some natural plant based cream to promote healing. But it started turning black and seemed to be spreading, I took him to our local vet who shaved the area, it was much bigger than I had originally thought, and this (pic) is what we saw. She said it was a fungal infection and gave me an anti-fungal solution, cream and some immunity booster to put in his food/water.
It's been almost a week and I see no improvement, to be fair she did say it could take up to 2 weeks, but I am so worried about him. He is eating fine, using his litter box and is playing and seems to be completely normal. Am I just panicking, should I wait for the 2 weeks of treatment to be up or should I get a second opinion. Also today I noticed his tongue has some black spots on it. I know two vets have said it is fungal and to give it time. But I am so worried it could be something worse
