Young Bun
Hi, we were brushing Busby tonight as he started moulting quite heavily today and we discovered two quite large bald patches on either side of his tail that weren't there a week ago.
The skin doesn't look sore, there's a small patch that looks a little dry but there are no scabs or sign of irritation or mites. We have been watching him and he hasn't been scratching at all.
It looks a bit like he's been over-grooming it and pulling the fur out, but he's not known for his cleanliness and it seems unlike him to groom his bum end at all, let alone to over-groom it!
Does anyone have any ideas of what this might be and if we need to rush him to the vet tomorrow?
I've attached a picture, please ignore the yucky feet!
Thank you so much, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
