I just need to double check this - i have this posted on the health board but there are a lot of serious cases over there....
Because he is a stray maybe you guys can help (AGAIN)
Ive gone thru so much with this guy - hes now living with me and PRAYING this works out. Trying to introduce him to my 6 yr old cat and my dog. My dog growled and snapped at him yesterday. My dog LOVES everyone - so concerned with that.
ANYWAY - the cat IS in a dog crate right now - has tons of room and is in his own room. He is healing from a possible attack - the vet never told us what happened exactly but hte women from the organization who helped me - said they think he was bitten. The vet did write laceration on the cats chart though
I saw the other day that he now has hair loss on the other side of him. TOday i believe it is getting bigger!!!!
They saw it as well and believe this is probably from the same attack from at least last Thursday night and hair loss is normal.. She said they did take a black light to test for ringworm.
is there any skin condition that would cause this though? he had stitches because the other side started with hair loss with an amoeba shape (wrote about that a few weeks ago) - then a hole in the hair loss next to the discoloring- then the hole got deeper and really nasty.
Im just so confused... thanks!!
