Title: Sore Spots
Post by: pandapaws on April 27, 2008, 11:01:20 AM

Hello everyone!

My little Jiji is having yet another health problem. I noticed this morning she has a very sore, bald patch on the back of her leg.

There is no fur around it, and it looks really sore, patchy and red.

Any ideas what it is? Andwhat could help it?

Could it possibly be over grooming?

It could be overgrooming, possibly caused by an insect bite or sting. Or it could be a fungal problem such as ringworm.
I would get a vet to check it out tomorrow.
You could bathe it today with mild saline solution, salt stings tho so it musnt be strong!
