I have recently moved my horse to a new barn and, as with most barns, there is a group of barn kitties. I believe there are four, all in good health, friendly, and with shiny soft coats...but I today I noticed one of the kitties has something funky going on. He (she?) is an orange tabby that I originally thought was a tad chunky, but while the kitty was eating I took a closer look and I believe there may be something wrong with him. His cheeks look abnormally large, his eyes are runny and red, and the hair around his left ear is gone and the skin is dry and scaly looking- almost like psoriasis.
Any ideas? Horses, dogs, and birds I know something about, but oddly enough, cats are out of my realm of knowledge.
The barn owner is a very caring person who would have no problem taking the kitty to the vet or providing treatment, but I thought I might ask around and try to find out what it might possibly be before I mention it to her.
I've only seen him one time before today, but if needed I can try and find him to get pictures.
