I have a 4 year male, Luna. Nicknamed Luna(tic) and Lou Ferringo. Get it? You won't like him when he's angry. Which is most of the time. Stereotypical tomcat. Hates the world and everything in it. Gets upset when his food bowl is too empty, because how can he be expected to eat from the bottom of the dish like a peasant.
He has a habit of disappearing and coming back injured and sick. Last time he was gone for 3 months. I did not think he was alive still. He just showed up one morning, skinny as a rail, absolutely covered with fleas and ticks, and had a respiratory infection.
What concerns me is his skin. Areas have turned purple, like bruising that doesn't hurt. With bright white spots in some areas. Also, there are black spots that either will not come off, or will if I scrub hard or scrape them, which he hates. Now, he does have dirt on him. I have him on flea protection. Comb him daily to remove fleas, dirt, and whatever else he gets into.
He has been to the vet twice and they do not seem worried about this, but I am. I have not gotten any answers or possible reasons this is happening.
Anybody have experience with this? I have attached photos.
