whaaaaaaaaaaaaat gives ?

ok,this is weird, i let Oreo in about 3 am this morn to eat,that's normal ,
i noticed a whitish patch about an inch long & almost as wide on his back
just below his shoulderblades, i thought "well he just got into some paint
somewhere,i'll try to remove it later, well, as i was bending down to look
at it, i said "good grief!' his fur looked (& felt) as if it had been
shaved off !!!!! it was smooth,not bloody or ragged looking,but looked
slightly irritated. could he have gotten caught on something that did that,
or did someone pin my baby down & shave him ???!!??? that's the only spot i
found but it's got me worried that it could happen again,i just let him back
outside a couple hr. ago,he's so used to coming & going as he pleases it's
hard to keep him in,he starts crying & scratching on the door if i do'nt let
him out!

That's wierd. I'd want a vet to look at it. They could tell you if it were
shaved or something else. I would want to know if there is some freak out
ther.

Sounds like ringworm to me. Take him to the vet and ask to have a
blacklight put on it to be sure - but definitely take him to the vet, if
it's ringworm it's highly contagious even to humans.

Nanki-Poo had something like that. We have a lot of birds around, and he is
a hunter, so I thought maybe a bird had yanked out some of his fur.
Unfortunately, it itched, and he scratched until a much larger area was a
bloody mess. I took him to the vet, who shaved off some of the surrounding
hair and gave him a cortisone injection to stop the itching, so he would
quit scratching and let it heal. It finally did heal, but it looked awful
for quire a while. The vet thinks it was a reaction to a flea bite, but he
is treated with Frontline regularly, and I still lean toward my bird theory.
The fur has all grown back, and you can't see where it is now.

I'd have a vet look at it.
