Hey everyone, My cat Leeloo was having over grooming problems a few weeks ago, I took her in to the vet because I found a bald spot on her leg. The vet gave her a woods lamp exam and found nothing said it was anxiety, and gave her Valium for it. A day later she went into heat for the first time... she was really nuts when she was in heat, and I took her to another animal hospital to get spayed (I figured this was causing her anxiety) I got her back from her operation on Thursday.. she's been recovering nicely and I saw no signs of anything wrong with her... except she still groomed herself a lot, but I figured she was still stressed having been through all she'd been through with the operation and all.
Then today I was scratching under her chin (its her favorite place for me to pet her) and I felt some tiny little bumps and I tried to look under her fur and I'm pretty sure I saw some little brownish red spots... I checked the rest of her body and found nothing, including the spot that was bald several weeks ago (its still a little bald) and saw nothing at all... what could this be? it didn't show up till today... could she have caught something from spending the night after her operation? or could it have been from before and the vet needed to do more than a woods lamp?
I have an appointment for her to get her stiches taken out on the 22nd which is 6 days from now, I was going to tell the vet about this then, but I'm wondering if I should call them tomorow, if this is something more serious that needs to be taken care of earlier than next Saturday???
thanks in advance for the help!
