Hello all,

I've been treating 1 year old Roger for a small fungal in 2 patches on his back, he also had a small cyst which was drained and has now left a small scab.

He had ivermec in the beginning in case, but sure it was fungal. Treating well, and hair has stopped coming out. Been using microneem oil etc, and noticed on sat he had more dry/rough patches on his back leg. Has a bath and a long groom checking the hair etc.

Checking him over today, I now find this thing, which I'm sure I couldn't have missed on Saturday. What do you think? It has a blister look, red and raised like if I popped it there would be some blood, about 0.7cm across, with scabby/dry area around it, same side as the gammy leg.

Vets tomorrow, but just in case anyone has idea what I'm looking at. Mortified if I have missed this!

Joan, Rogers chum is fine, and has been checked religiously since we got her six weeks ago

What was the vets conclusion? It looks like it might be a sore from scratching an itch, as it appears to be in the middle of a scurfy patch.
