MrsC Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hello all, Just after a bit of advice. I've just noticed a bit of a bald patch on my 2.5yr old boys 'knee'... For want of a better word?! The skin isn't red and I can't see any injuries. I've not seen him licking it and he's not been scratching, although I'm not with him 24/7 so he may have done at some point. He's totally himself, isn't off his food etc so just wondering what it could be! Many thanks in advance 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hard to tell without a photo. Can you "copy image link" from a Facebook page?

HeyRunDog Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 If it's small he might have cut his knee at some point which went unnoticed under his fur and the scab has now come off leaving a bald patch, but as macoduck said, a photo would help.

greysmom Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Could be a rubbed off spot, or even just shedding. Watch it and see what happens with it. It will more than likely fill in and disappear. If it doesn't, mention it to your vet the next time you go in (unless he starts bothering it, then get him in sooner, as it could be something like ringworm).
