Bald spot?

[Chickenpies]

Hi.

I was just giving Teddy his medicine, when I noticed a bald spot next to Teddy’s mouth. I would have noticed it before, because I have been giving him medicine for a while now. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thank you.

It is right next to his mouth. And I forgot to say that he is living on his own at the moment.

I’m afraid your guess will be as good as ours on this - Could he have perhaps been bar biting and worn the fur off? Perhaps add a picture.

Teddy isn’t really a bar biter. He does love eating his hay out of a metal rack though. I’m not sure if I could get a picture because he wriggles a lot.

It could be that he is pushing his nose into the rack..but this is only a guess, we can’t see him or have a hands on so if you’re worried you’ll need to go to the vet.

Just took a photo and probably realised why he does it. He sticks his face so far tHis chin is wet from his frozen bottle in his bright orange sock haha!

That’s probably the reason why. I’d keep an eye on the bold spot and see a vet if it gets bigger
