Re: strange bald spot
My fiv boy, Starman, has a problem with itchy dry skin. The least little irritant, or one flea bite can set him scratching like a mad man. When I first noticed a small bald spot on his back, I attributed it to advantage, (the bald spot is in the same location as where it was applied). His itchiness is much better now, (we tried a million and one things and finally got it under control using antihistamines), but that spot of fur has never grown back. Keep a close eye on it for any changes and try not to worry.

She does not have fleas, I doubt it would be mites, it is cold 30-60 degrees F and last time she went to the vet the vet said her fur looked fine. thanks Chelsea

Re: strange bald spot
Have you ever used any top-spot flea drops on her at that location? Has she had any vaccines, shots, or microchips at that location? It's probably nothing, but ofcourse, once you rule out a reaction to either a chemical or trauma from a cut, poke or abrasion, that leaves the possibility of ringworm. You would need to have your vet look at it under a special light and take a skin scraping to know for sure. Tang has a bald spot over his microchip, it never grows hair, plus it bothers him. Thus, none of my cats will ever have microchips. My vet says it's not anything to worry about, so I don't, but I do sometimes forget and rub my hand down his side and if I touch it he gets irritated with me.

Re: strange bald spot
Keep a close eye on the spot. Dixie had two that I had cultured, luckily, that were infected with bacteria that were not sensitive to the normal broad spectrum antibiotics. They came about in a matter of a couple of days. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
