Hi and  :welcome: to Purrs

Yep I'd take them back to the vet to double-check if it persists, good luck
Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

 :welcome: to Purrs...  :)

I would give them another vet visit, maybe it was too early to be spotted!  ;)  :hug:

 :welcome:

Have mum and son been checked by a vet to make sure there is no underlying reason for the baldness and overgrooming such as ringworm?
:'( My beautiful Noah rescued 13/02/09, adopted 11/10/09, taken 11/02/11 :'( You deserved so much more.

Over grooming each other
« Reply #1 on: January 21, 2010, 22:42:35 PM »
I have now had our adopted ragdolls now for about two months. They are mum,and son. They seem to be grooming each other rather a lot. In fact,mum has licked and nibbled her boy so much above his eye,he has developed a small bald patch. They have been fully wormed and de fleed
so i dont think the problem is there. I have been watching them today and twice she has started nibbling around his bald spot.
Is there anything anybody can suggest to stop her going for that spot?
