Hello folks, I picked up my new Ragdoll (2 yrs. / 2 months old) last Sunday.
She's great - high energy, very affectionate, good appetite. Her name is Willow. (c-section / spayed - retired adult breeder)
At the time I picked her up from the Ragdoll breeder, I noticed a mark on the back of her neck and the breeder said she started rubbing herself after being spayed. She applied polysporin to the area.
This morning, I noticed it quite raw after I witnessed her scratching it with one of her rear paws. Minor blood showing.
I applied polysporin to the area this morning as well as this afternoon. I'll do it again tonight.
I have not witnessed her scratching again.
Anyone out there with the same experience? I've attached pictures below.
Yes I know I should get a Vet. opinion, yet before I do, I've come here to look for those who can offer their experience and what the likely culprit was.
If it's a flea collar related, I couldn't tell you. I don't know if the breeder used them or not - hopefully not, but the circular mark is on her neck.
She comes from a Ragdoll breeder - many other adult Ragdolls in the same house, all looked perfectly healthy/happy.
There's also 2 large Sheppard dogs in the same house that are pets, so who knows.
Also of note - her left ear (rear) was rubbed raw apparently. Fur has begun to grow back and looks fine, she doesn't touch that area.
I questioned the breeder and was told she rubbed a laundry basket - true? Maybe - don't know. I took at chance (considering the long ass drive I took).
