Hesperus
Warren Veteran
I groomed him the other day and pulled out tonnes of fur (it was loose).
He ended up with a bald patch on his neck.
It was fine for 2 days but today I've noticed he's scratched/groomed it himself and it looks red and sore.
He has no signs of mites/lice/fleas or anything, it's just on that moulted patch, and the hairloss matches his colour pattern (i.e. only black/grey fur fell out).
Is this a medical problem that needs a vet, or should I keep an eye on it? Is there any cream that would help?
If it were on me I wouldn't go to the doctor so I'm not sure you see! He's fine in himself, he's been well since yesterday and is full of beans and eating/pooing ok today.
ETA: Just looked up close and the skin isn't broken. Actually not quite as bad when looked at closely.
