i rescued my cat from a cat hoarder about a month ago. he had great health aside from needing a deworming and shots since he had never received vetting.
i noticed what looked like a dry spot on the corner of his mouth last night or the night before (i work overnights, my days run together). i finally was able to hold him tight enough to actually look at it and get a few good pictures (attached).
what is this? is this a huge cause for concern? should i rush him to a vet or is it something that can be brought up when he goes to get altered in a few weeks? he is my BABY. i lost a kitty to toxoplasmosis a few years ago, and i was so hurt that i couldn't bring myself get a new cat for a very long time. i don't want him to be really sick and i'm missing on what it could be.
