Chad is a black American short hair..an indoor always cat.
I found one small bump on the right side of his neck.a very firm bump and some scabs. I purchased from a pet shop some Zymox Topical Cream, and the scabs healed. But the bump or pimple was still there.
I noticed a black mark on the lower corner of a wall and he was rubbing his neck against it. Touching this black mark, I noticed it was sticky.I cleaned it with bleach, but now Chad has more bumps and scabs. I took him to the Humane Society Clinic. They said it's a flea allergy, but I have not seen any fleas nor have I been bitten. Instructions are to use the Zymox twice a day every other day, and the other days use antibiotic cream.
Has anyone heard of a cat with a skin fungus? I'm not convinced that this is a flea allergy.
