Hey there,
I'm coming to you guys today because of an issue I just noticed. Let me give you a little background info first.
My little patient is named Louie. He is a black & white long hair that is roughly 13 weeks old. I got him 3 weeks ago from my parents barn.. I feel in love with him because of his loving nature. He is the runt of his litter, and I figured I could give him a cozy life. I also have a 10 year old named Diamond, who I felt was getting very lonely in my apartment (she's used to having play mates)
So the issue is, I have recently discovered what looks like very thick scabs on my little guy's skin. I found the first one on the stretch of skin between his tummy and hind leg. It's only about 2cm X 2cm big. I figured it was just dry skin and it would go away. (He has been eating like a mad man, and slowly gaining weight, so I figured it was just the wet food I'm giving him)
Well just tonight, I found another one on his front leg. about half way up, and the same size..
I am not sure if this is something that will just pass, or if I should take him in tomorrow? I have found a vet that does all first time examinations for free and is highly recommended, but he's a bit of a ways away.
Other than the scabs, he's happy, healthy and obnoxious as hell
Any advice??
