patch of fur

[angelgirl]

Hi all

just noticed that Charlie has a little patch of fur which looks like has come out and in its place is what seems to be regrowth of his fur. He is well in himself, eating, drinking, weeing and pooing all fine. He doesn't seem to be paying the patch any attention and doesn't mind it being touched.

Any ideas or what I should do???

Thanks

If it's not bald and there is new growth of fur in the patch and no flakiness or soreness then it sounds like normal moult to me! Nothing you need to do other than give him a good brush daily to stop him ingesting too much fur.
If it goes bald with dry flaky skin then trip to vet as it could be some sort of skin condition e.g mites, ringworm. etc. But it sounds just like a normal moult to me
