| What does the scab look like? Could it be ringworm? Is it a crusty, circular type of scab?

| No clue but bumping this up for you. poor baby! Hope she's feeling better soon. If it were just a regular sore, I would say use hydrogen peroxide but if it's ring worm I just don't know.... |

| You might think I’m crazy….but, ages ago when I was in my 20’s I traveled extensively in the mid-west. During this time I became friends with a native American Indian. I was raising Burmese cats at the time, and one of my cats got into a fight with some wild animal and had received a severe wound on his body, that actually abscessed because nothing would work to heal this wound. My Indian friend told me to make a paste out of ground tumeric and to keep it on the wound. I’m not kiddin you that sucker healed in no time. It works. What promotes the healing is the curcumin in the turmeric. Tumeric is also used by some curry powder manufacturers also, and I think that's what I had in the cabinet and he said it was fine. Johnson and Johnson now have a band-aid that has curcumin in it. So….there you have it….and if he licks it…it’s all natural. If you do determine that it is a sore and decide to try it...let me know.

| I would start by cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, then apply Neosporin or Bacitracin. Both contain antibiotics. You want to make sure it doen't get infected. If you don't see any improvement in several days, it might be worth a trip to the vet. Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin and can be treated with an anti-fungal ointment. You can google "ringworm" and see if the pictures look anything like what is on Martini's head. If it is ringworm, you should be able to treat it yourself.

| I need advice I would panic and run to the Vet asap. Do you have the hair pulled tight with the bows? I use bands and cut them off instead of pulling. They are so inexpensive. Hope it is nothing serious.
