not sure if this is ringworm
HI my cat has a white spot about the size of a dime that no fur grows
on on his back. I thought it was ringworm but it's been there for a while and is not spreading and I have not developed any ringworm spots. Any ideas on what it may be based on the description? |

If it's been there for a while, I trust you're in the process of taking him to the vet for diagnosis? That is the only way to know for sure what it is and to have it treated if need be. -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200605/1 |

First, what is "a while"? A weeek, a month? If it's just bald, not crusty, not red at all, not inflamed or otherwise looking "abnormal" it may be the site of a previous injury. Sometimes, especially when wounds get infected, all of the hair around the wound falls out - the skin usually looks smooth. It takes a while for it to grow back. If this is the case *I* would just keep an eye on it to make sure the hair is starting to grow in. If the spot is crusty, flaky, or red or oozing at all, *I* would take him to a vet. If it's been more than 2 weeks with no hair re-growth (at least stubble), *I* would take the cat to the vet as well. -L. |
