It doesn't look like flea dirt. Mine have had it off and on throughout the years and have been seen by a vet - no diagnosis. It's not mites or an allergic reaction. Mine have never had fleas so I don't think it is associated in my case with them. It's very sticky and it doesn't come off with bathing, or Q-tip dipped in alcohol, hydrocortisone doesn't do anything. It seems to be associated with the summer heat and seems to come from their pores. If you ever get a diagnosis I would sure like to know what it is. |
