just noticed he has a patch of hair missing on his leg/top of his leg. it's a perfect circle and about the size of a 5p. what could it be? :( you can touch his skin, there is no fur there :(

i thought ringworm at first but it's just bald. no redness or flaking. it actually has tiny hairs on it aswell.

i never thought about the vets. he had bloods taken but i don't think they take it from there? :?

he's always had thinner fur on his legs and feet. he has sore hocks. i noticed the side of his foot seems to be thinning aswell lately. :?

i hope he hasn't done it to himself through stress. :(
