Question

[aki]

Chuck has terrible allergies and is pretty itchy and sneezy most of the time. I do have drops for his ears and clean them almost every day.

This morning I was holding him and noticed he has a small crusty dark red/blackish owie on his tummy. I haven't noticed him itching anymore than usual.

Should I be alarmed at this? I am planning on calling the vet. Just wondered if anyone of your cats have had this.

His hair is pretty long too. If that makes any difference.

Thanks!

I don't have a clue what it could be. Hopefully nothing more than he scratched himself. Could he have a hot spot type place? I've never seen them on cats but I remember my neighbor's St. Bernard would get them in the summer and they would have to shave her.

I hope the vet can help, please let us know what you find out.

Well frick! The vet can't see him till next week.

He is booked solid and he said it's a non-emergency. I wish there were pet med centers.

When The Found Cats Have Hot Spots There A Spray That Relieves The Symptoms.
I Am Sure That Most Pet Stores Carry It.

Do you think he has hot spots Gary? Does it sound like it?
