Hi everyone.
I'm getting a bit concerned. As some of you have probably read, I have two 5 month old adopted kittens, one male(Tom), one female(Tilly), both from the same litter.
Since Tom came to us, he has always had a kind of bald patch between his eyes and ears. When I say a bald patch, I don't mean extremely bald, just not as much hair really. Recently I have noticed that the patch seems to be getting worse, maybe in he last 4 days, I thought I was maybe being silly, but I've had a good look and it looks as though he has been possibly scratching, there are some small red scratches.
I phoned the vet and have an appointment on Monday (earliest I could manage,) I spoke with the vet and they said not to worry as it sounded like fleas or a hormonal change.
I have ruled out fleas as when we first got the kittens they were flea free and we also took them to out vet who had a good look as well. They are house cats, so cannot have gotten it from another cat. They were also treated for ear mites when early on as well, however the treatment was successful first time. At the moment I have bought ear drops to rule the ear mites out completely incase they were not gone from the first instance.
Does anyone have any idea or experience with this problem as I am getting quite worried about it.
Apart from the fur loss, Tom is an extremely happy, healthy little boy, he runs about mad playing with his sister, I never see him scratching or sniffing or crying or howling. He seems perfectly happy, has a great appetite, drinks a lot of water, always wanting to play or cuddle <3
Any advice would be much appreciated, I'll tr get a photo if his fur just now to let you all see.
Thankyou
