Default Re: Bald patch on one side

Even though she has no hair here? At first I thought it may have just looked wet (I was hopeful) but there is no hair. My partner read somewhere that she may have pulled the hair out but I didn't think she'd only do that to one scent gland. The other side has hair.

Thank you for the reassurance though. I don't want her to ever be suffering when I could do something about it.

There is often what appears to be a small bald & often wet patch around the scent gland, going by the photo you posted it does look normal but if you are still concerned that there's more of a bald patch than there should be maybe post another photo.

Ok I managed to get some close up photos, although still a little blurry.

Hope that this helps!

It is easier to see there that she does have quite a large patch, she's probably just been rubbing that side more when she's scenting things I would guess, do you see her rubbing against things much?
I would just keep an eye on it for now, as long as it doesn't get any worse.

Yes she has started rubbing herself more often now. I’m not sure if she rubs that side more though but I guess it’s possible. Thank you for your advice. I will monitor her closely and see what happens.
