Brought in a stray cat, had him neutered, rabies, combo tested, revolution given, distemper. Trying to incorporate him into my household of 4 cats, until a furever home can be found.
He loses tiny tufts of hair, and attached to them is a hunk of white skin. At first I thought maybe it was leftover scabs and scratches, and maybe it is, but I am concerned because there seems to be several every day, and I don't feel that many scabs on him. The other thing is he is very sensitive on his lower back. kind of reacts like a dog does when you touch that area, and is frequently reaching for it. I brushed up and down on it, and don't see any flaking, but I think the hair might be thinner there.
Anybody see this before, any ideas? Something contagious?
thanks.
