    What could this be??

    I was trimming Boomer's claws today and found this strange rash on the inside of his back leg. It doesn't look like ringworm so I am at a loss. The pictures aren't very good because he is very protective of that leg but it basically looks like the area is covered in big red polka dots in no particular pattern or shape???

    It doesnt look like a fle bite, maybe it a rash from something he stepped on, and then scratched away at until he made it worse.
    I pray its nothing serious.

    I second this.

    Linus had a spot on his tail and on his leg where the hair was missing and there were some red spots. I don't know if it looked exactly like what you are showing though. He didn't like people looking at it. The vet took a culture to find out what kind of fungus it was. I never heard what it was exactly, but he was given some cream and it has healed very well. The hair still is growing back in on his tail. I have no idea if this would be anything similiar to what your kitty has or not.
