Hi all,

Today i realized a balding area above my cats eye (eyelid). Can it be ringworm? Tomorrow going to vet but wanted to ask if anyone experienced? I am attaching left and right eyelids to compare.

I was actually expecting a much more dramatic picture, so of course good that it was not. Some cats do lose hair in this area naturally, but going to the vet is a good idea.

I am not seeing the red, scaly patch that I associate with ringworm, but then I am basing that on your pic....hopefully it is not ringworm. Please let us know.

I completely agree! If you want to save yourself a trip to the vet and, for your own peace of mind, ask if you can send the vet these pics.
