Hi All,
My little Snowball has lost a little patch of fur. We noticed it about a week ago. He is an indoor cat, but long fur, so the other fur kind of covered up the missing patch. He had no fever and I couldn't see a wound point. So, I wasn't worried about it.
My husband has noticed though, that the skin seems redder and more irritated and seems painful to the touch. We haven't seen Snowball licking his wound and the only reason why it seems sensitive to the touch is because my husband has touched the area around it.
Otherwise, he is acting entirely normal!! Normally I don't take our kitties to the vet unless they are acting lethargic or seem hurt. I don't trust our vet (he told us Snowball had FIP awhile back) and refused to admit that our other kittie was allergic to the medicine he gave him.
Any idea what this could be or if the vet could do anything about it. He's an indoor cat. We are going away for a 5 day vacation and having friends take care of him a week from now and just wondering if you have any input.
Thanks so much. This forum has helped me sooooooo much in the past!!!
