What is this/Update on Juno's Wound

[Rsea]

I I found this hole on my cat with a bald patch around it.. Any idea what it could be?

Where is it located? It could be many things, best advise would be to contact your vet. Best of luck!

It's located near his neck, right beside his left armpit.

I would say an allergy as most cats will create bald spots on themselves when they have an irritation. The hole however is puzzling and in my opinion concerning. Did this happen suddenly? How is your cats behavior?

It was very sudden, he is acting normal and it is not bleeding but is it possible it could be a puncture wound?

Does your cat go outside? Could she have gotten into a spar with another cat?

Cats often go for the neck in a spar.

There is this one cat that does usually get into scraps with, but it's usually nothing serious..

It looks like a bite wound to me, get her to the vet to have it checked out, these often get infected.

I agree that this is concerning and needs your vet's attention. Please don't wait since it can get infected and become more serious. If there are no vets open now where you live can you bring the cat to a veterinary emergency clinic? Regarding your cat getting into scraps as you put it - did you mean with other outdoor cats or your own cats?

Other outdoor cats.

Other outdoor cats.

Then please keep him indoors until he can be examined by a vet and receive proper medical care.

Does he go outside? Is it just one hole? If it's just one hole, it could be a bot fly.

Older bite wound that is infected. He needs to stay in and see a vet.

So it looks like the hole closed up so that’s good but the bald patch is getting bigger and I see a lot of black spots, what does this mean?

Just out of curiosity, did you bring Juno to the vet as recommended? I'm sorry but he really needs to be seen by a vet for medical care and treatment since we are unable to give medical advice. Please follow up with your vet. Thinking of Juno.
