I have noticed a lil scab (smaller than a 5p coin) on Harley's back, it isn't causing him any pain and I have never observed him taking any notice of it.

I'm assuming that Perhaps Pebbles bit or nipped Harley during their recent bonding, Harley humped Pebs several times so its possible that Pebs nipped/ bit him to go away.

I was just wondering if it could be a sign of something else? Also should I be doing anything further to ensure area doesn't get infected?

I have got Johnsons Antibacterial powder to put on the scab, dunno if it'll help :? I was going to put it on just now but couldn't find the scab amongst his vast amount of fur :oops:

Any advice is appreciated :)
 
Has he had a vaccination recently?

I should think if the scab is dry and not inflammed then I would just leave it and keep an eye on it for now. :)
 
Nah no injections recently.

Yih I'll just keep an eye on it, he is going to the vets next week to accompany Pebs so I'll ask them to check him over :)
 
I've noticed some on my lops as well. Little bit smaller that that though. I think it's small nips from bonding as they are well along in healing now. I've just been keeping an eye on them.
