Bald belly and flaky skin

[klovespigs]

Hello, my girl (almost 7years old) has a balding belly and some flaking skin. I gave her a quick belly wash as she was a little dirty and I couldn't see the skin very well. There is some redness/cut as well. I haven't seen her itching more than usual either. I first saw a little baldness on Sunday evening.

The reason I am posting here is because a few months ago, she had a huge panic and erratic breathing on the way to and at the vet, she started making a horrible noise too, this was to a non savy vet 10min drive away. My nearest savy vet is over an hour drive so I'm worried about taking her as I really thought I was going to lose her last time.

I have attached some photos for advice.

This could be a fungal skin issue. If you're concerned for her health getting her to the vet, understandably so given her age and your last experience, maybe you could call the vet and see if they would suggest something. They may have a pet-safe antifungal shampoo that they can recommend.
