Hi there,
Looking for any thoughts until my vet opens tomorrow! My cat is suddenly missing a patch of fur on his face and the skin underneath looks sore. It has only happened today as he was perfectly fine last night. My first guess is that he might have got into a scuffle or caught his fur on something but I’ve now got myself worried that it could be ringworm! I don’t suppose that would show up instantly though? Has anyone seen anything similar?
I’ve added a photo of his injury plus a photo from last night so you can see what he normally looks like!
Interestingly his left eye (the same side of his face) was squinting and watering a bit when I spotted the bald patch although that seems to look better now. His safety release collar was also missing which does seem to point to him getting into a spot of bother. Otherwise he seems fine and is happily lapping up the fuss and attention and purring away. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
