Bald spot on Amber
I notice yesterday a bald spo on Amber's left side. It's about the size
of a quarter. I suspect that Tiger pulled out some hair. It's not bothering her. See it here- http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/View...e=0&re s=high ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Minor abscessing will cause hair loss. |

It could be ringworm. If it doesn't seem to be growing fur back, better check with the vet. Debbie ---MIKE--- wrote: I notice yesterday a bald spo on Amber's left side.

Bald spot on Amber
I doubt if it's ringworm. My cats are strictly inside and there have
been no "critters" of any kind in the house. The surface of the spot is smooth with no sign of a puncture. It seems to be healing as of this afternoon. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

What you are seeing at this stage would be consistent with some sort of minor punture. An insect bite could produce the same result if a small piece of the mandible were left behind in the bite. Hair is slow to recover. |

Bald spot on Amber-update
I think I know what happened. In the picture you will see Amber on her
window seat. When she gets up there she jumps up on the speaker and then to the seat. If Tiger chases her she usually gets up in a hurry. I think she may have nicked the corner of the lower shelf on the way up. I now have some padding on that corner http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/View...e=0&re s=high. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
