In December, I asked about some lumps on Tibby's leg and around his bottom that I discovered were quite scabby. I took him to the vets and Tibby was given an injection to calm down the scabbing - as something had irritated his skin. (worked well and the scabs disappeared)
However, yesterday, I noticed that Tibby has got scabs again around the same place.
It appears as though the skin is irritated by something, as it is scabby. I was wondering if it could possibly be eczema? I can't think of anything - product wise - that wuld irritate his skin and also can't see a way that it would be irritated on only one side if he were sitiing on something.
I am going to use a mild antiseptic to clean the flat today and see if that help, but am probably going to be taking him to the vets next week if things don't change.
Just to add, it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all - except when I part his fur to see it - and he's not paying any special attention to it, that i've noticed.
Does anyone else have a kitty with skin problems or eczema? Might this be the problem?
