I have a long haired adult male cat that has developed scabs on his skin. There is no sign of hair loss,no weird behavior,and his coat actually looks better than I've ever seen.
The first scab I noticed was on his back,a good couple inches from the neck. Probably a month or two ago. I figured it was a scratch from one of the kittens I have,who are now about 5-6 months old. I'm pretty sure that one healed completely and went away. Then couple weeks later he has a few more scabs. Now he's got then on his head. One of my kittens also seems to have a scab.
I still think they may be scratches,since they do play very rough.
But none of them are in scratch form,they kind of look like dry skin that chapped,could it possibly be ringworm?
I don't want to take him to the vet for them to tell me nothings wrong,I still owe my father for when I had to put down a cat a few months ago and my runt kitten has an eye infection.
So is this really something to worry about?
