Question

[momtomany]

You may want to check all around the neck and the area right before the tail. I call it the crunchies when my guys have gotten but it is an allergic dermatitis. A steroid shot usually takes care of it. I do feral colony care and last summer carried fleas in to my guys, who don't go outside, and 9 of the 11 had allergic reactions. Needless to say they were not happy with momma.

Poor sweeties! This definitely sounds like a question for your vet. There are so many possibilities as others have mentioned. Hoping this is nothing serious. Please let us know how things work out?

I would go and see a vet. This might also be ringworm! Better be sure, hey!

Thanks everyone - I'm sure it isn't ringworm. I had to deal with that after I brought Maggie home (she was a stray). I'm sure it's nothing serious, because they do fight & play pretty rough, but am going to check with the vet. Yes, they do all eat out of plastic food dishes, so I will switch (never thought about that). I use a plastic rubbermaid type container for their food and empty margarine / butter containers for water.

nancys - I found two stainless steel pet food bowls at my dollar store. They even had heavy rubber rims and bottom to keep them from flipping.

Been over a year and they are great - and easy to clean! Ditto with their water dish.

I checked at our dollar store yesterday and brought a metal or stainless steel dish for the babies - hope it helps. Thanks
