Hi, see the attach pic. Six month or so girl, she has been inside since caught her at about six weeks old.
Just noticed this morning this hard, sandpaper like thing near her belly, underside. It is about the size of a quarter. touching it no reaction from her.
I am going to take her to the vet, but first wait till she gets sleepy to see if it is something simple, like matted fur, she is pretty wild when she awake and playful, so easier to do stuff when she get sleepy. But she a super clean cat, and it does not feel like matted hair, especially given she a short hair cat. It is slightly raised above the skin, sandpaper feel to it. It is the same color as her skin, grey.
Wondering in the mean time if anyone had some input. Thank you
Edit - attached pic with circle around the area I talking about.
Edit again - goodness, ringworm is it? I have experience with it, just now occurred to me this might be what it is. My memory escaping at the moment about it, will have to search back about my cats I caught that had it and was treated. Ah, been so long ago!
