While fixing Lulu's hair this morning, I noticed a fairly large patch of scabs under her right ear down her jawline. I did notice she has been scratching that area a little but nothing overly excessive. She's on flea/tick treatment & I see no evidence of either. I have a vet appt this afternoon to get it checked out, but wanted to see if anyone has experienced the same thing. I am terrified it may be mange! She is on metacam & crate rest for a shoulder injury (has been since Wednesday of last week). My poor baby has had a rough two weeks!
ETA: I've also noticed that she has been licking her paws lately as well. The vet checked her paws last week when I took her in b.c she was limping. But at that time, Lulu didn't have any of these scabs or itching on her jaw.
