I've just found several tiny lumps on Merlin's skin - they are on the surface & either look very dry (dandruffy) or have small bits of dried blood at the root of them.
I can't see any insects - his neck & base of ears is fine so have discounted fleas. Could it be mites?
Tiny lumps seem to be dotted around his shoulders & back and are very spread out & there's about 5. His skin is not red like he's been scratching & he's not scratching more than normal either.
I'm a bit concerned as he was away at Bunny Boarding last week!
I'm going to book him in the vets tommorow but wondered if anyone knew what they are? He is moulting at the moment & is a Rex so his skin is a bit more sensitive so could he have just caught himself scratching?
