I have noticed recently that Peb's mouth/ whisker area on one side is constantly wet/damp for most of the day. I believe this is because of the way he drinks out of his bowl, which I will be changing back to bottles when I get the chance to buy one that doesn't leak!
I noticed tonight that his fur in this area was coming out in lil tufts and he now has a bald patch in the whisker area about the size of a 2p coin. At the end of the tufts is a flaky dry piece of skin, which they are lil bits of on the skin in the area that is bald.
I was just wondering...do you think this is because of the constant wetness he has had in that area or does it sound like mites? I will get him to the vets asap but just wondering if anyone has experience this?
I have attached some pics but they're not very good
Thanks
