Hi all! I have a question concerning the health of my chin.
My boy, who is about 6 or 7 years old, seems to have a patch of missing hair on the top of his front leg. It's not red, flaky, inflamed, or anything else, just... missing. For a while, his chin and chest have seemed greasy, looking almost like it was wet. I'm not sure what that was about, but I didn't worry about it too much. I just thought maybe he's a sloppy drinker. I'm not sure if these two things are related, or perhaps the greasiness caused a fungal infection to start, or.... I don't know. I wish I could upload a photo, but right now I cannot.
I already phoned my vet, and I'm expecting a call back later today or tomorrow. I am hesitant to take him in straight away, only because he's a rescue who I can barely handle-- he gets extremely stressed out when transported or touched. Of course, he's going to have to see the vet if that's what is needed.
Have you seen anything like this before?
