18 yo Maine coon that frequently gets mats in his fur
Usually i brush then out.
He has had one big tough matted area in his hind leg that i have been trying to brush out for months,
Sometime today. that area became an about 2inch area of no fur and the huge mat gone. We saw him cleaning his fur today.
His daytime living sleeping bed was covered with fur pieces like a war went on
For years he sleeps on his bed which is right next to my head at night, Of of a sudden tonight while sleeping next to me, i noticed, as i said above,an about 2inch area of no fur spot on his hind legs, open sore. He seems fine. In no obvious pain--would assume it stings him some.
Advice? i did some research on line, there seems to be a consensus to do nothing,let open air get at it. Would assume at some point to have it looked or take some medical action myself.
The sore is roughly circle,a tad smaller then a dime
(he is 14 in the photo)
