Ok my orangie has this spot on the top part of his tail about 1 inch from his back that is all greasy feeling and it is matted(??) I have heard about stud tail but from my understanding that is under the tail not on top?? was I missinformed? He is about 2 years old and has been fixed if that matters any. Is there anything I can do to make it not matted and greasy? Thank you in advance...

You mean it's always or often like this? Or just today? If it's just today maybe he walked under something that dripped, a car or something?

No it's always sometimes worse than others. He is never outside always inside, he is scared to go out we have tried that a few times and he doesn't move he just sits there and cries....

Does he scratch it like it bothers him? How's the skin look in that spot?

I haven't noticed him scrathing but he does clean the area alot. The skin looks normal but he does have little black dots almost like dirt, and all the fur has fallen out about a 3 inch area long not wide.

The black dots sound like flea dirt to me. Which would also explain why he would be cleaning the area a lot or scratching even.
