Hey :wave:
Just thought I'd update you on Connie's sore dewlap. Although I didn't need to take her to the vet in the end, since I was taking Dillon last night for his dental, I took her along and the vet checked her out. She had not only been overgrooming her dewlap, but I had noticed she had been plucking fur from her tummy.
The vets think since she only got spayed this year that she is still hormonal and has been plucking for nest making. Her skin isn't sore anymore so no treatment or nothing to worry about, just keeping an eye on her. I've never had a female do this before, all new to me :lol:
Will that explain why I can't litter tray her at the moment! She does go in the litter tray but also goes in several other places too
