Hello guys, such a long time since I last visited. Thomas is well - he's got everything wrong with him, but at least they all have a diagnosis and we can handle them! lol
Now we have Harry who's 2 years old.
He has this rash on his chest - I could feel the sores under his fur when I was fussing him earlier today. He had the same thing last September in the same place and the fur fell out. They ruled out a flea allergy, gave him an antibiotic injection, an Elizabethan collar (lol), and I applied an iodine/water solution until it healed.
The vet suggested it could be a contact allergy, and I watched him for days ... weeks to see if he was sleeping with his chest on something, but nothing seemed obvious.
I've booked him into the vet so they can have a look, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be? They might do a skin scrape!?
It's scabby, but not red (though last year it went red, but I think that was him overgrooming the area as I didn't spot it straight away) and it's about the size of a 10p coin. TBH I don't think he's even noticed yet!
Would love to hear from you.
