One of our stud cats, Tango, has a bald spots on both rear hocks in the exact same location and on his scrotum. The spots on the hocks are about "dime" sized and the scrotum spots are a bit smaller.
The spots are somewhat red, but not inflamed or weeping sores. They don't seem to bother him and he doesn't fuss at them. The hair is completely gone from these areas, so it looks very odd.
I have of course taken him to the vet and the diagnosis was indeterminate along with the cause and prognosis. A topical steroid was prescribed and has had zero effect. The symptoms remain the same and have not improved.
Ringworm has been ruled out completely.....whew!
Never the less, he still suffers from this and we have eliminated step by step anything that could be causing contact dermatitus, with no luck in solving the problem.
I'm not desperate for a solution, because he seems un-bothered by the condition, but it is ugly and visible and obviously not normal.
Anyone out there with suggestions or solutions for similar problems...I'm all ears and any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
