Losing clumps of fur?

[CaseyTiggerPie]

Hi there I'm a little worried about tigger because I've been noticing that he loses largish clumps of fur every few days. He doesn't have any bald patches and I've been checking his skin a million times over but I can't see anything. He doesn't even have dandruff. He had mites a couple of months ago (still don't know why) but we caught it early so it wasn't really an issue and he's been fine for about three and a half months. Does anyone know what could be causing this, I don't want to take any chances! Thanks in advance

Does he live with another gp? Maybe it is being pulled out! Thats all I can think of, I work in a pet shop and we find that sometimes an agressive male pulls the others fur out. If there is no scaling or redness thats all I can think of since nobody else has suggestions :/

Does the clumps of fur have dead skin on the bottom of it?

He lives with Casey - female and she's not dominant... And there also isn't any dead skin on it, it's literally just a great clump which falls out is it anything to worry about, should I take him to the vet? Thanks

I'd take him just incase its fungal or mange

What breed is he? If he is lunkarya or teddy then it's nothing to worry about. They shed.

I will take him tomorrow... And he's an Abyssinian, but it's not normal shedding...
