Thread: Leo has little "scabs" on his neck

Well, been spending more time with Leo checking his neck. There are definietly multiple little nodules of varying sizes under the skin on the neck. Almost in two rows, mostly down the right but some on the left. Spoke to the vet nurse who thought it could be an allergic reaction, keep an eye (paw) on it, wash with hibiscrub and if no change or an increase towards the end of the week to bring him in. Seems sensible.

They are not mats of hair - wetting with hibiscrub and gentle combing out shows that. I think they might still be from over zealous play fighting, since Leo being the largest is also the most put upon by his brothers.

He is not in the slightest bothered by them, no scratching and doesn't mind me checking them or applying the dilute hibiscrub.

The health of my cats is the priority but having said that he is due to a show in two weeks so if I can avoid unnecessary shaving by the vet I would like to. But I will not show him if that's what it takes.

Any more advice or pointers ?

PS The other two show no similar signs and they do all bite each other from behind, like play-mating
