Tonight I was brushing my cats and I noticed that Echo has little sores on her back & around her neck. She's had them before, but I always assumed it was from Bud and her playing around (when they play they dig their back claws into each other and sometimes they'll get a little sore if it breaks the skin). But tonight I noticed that there were at least 5 or 6 little scabby sores right in the middle of her back and around the area above her tail plus a few around her neck. I searched her over for fleas and anything that seemed out of the norm, but didn't find anything. They don't seem to be sore to the touch, but they feel hard and raised...kind of like a big scab and kind of look like it too. The sores don't look like they are infected or anything. I checked the other 2 cats and they don't have any sores on them. Do you think it would be scratches from Bud? It can't be from Tiki since her previous owners had ALL of her claws removed. Do you think a bug has biten her? It doesn't look like a bug bite, but yet I don't think I've ever seen a bug bite on a cat before. Should I just keep a watch on them and she if she gets more & if so take her to the Vet? I'd feel kind of foolish to take her in if it's something really minor. What should I do? Thanks in advance!
