| Pluto has a dry, scaly, scab on the back of his neck... Have any of your babies had this? It doesn't really seem to bother him. When I try to brush him, it goes down some and then comes right back like it is scabbing back over. I have tried NOT brushing it too to see if it would just heal...but it doesn't go away. I took him to the vet for his shots last week and had her check it. She honestly didn't seem concerned and really had no idea what it might be. I have a good relationship with this vet and have used her for my other babies....so I don't think switching vets is the answer. I have googled to try to find something similar and can't find anything that really describes it. I just thought I would throw it out to the forum and ask if anyone has had to deal with this. He hasn't had any flea meds yet ( no fleas either so that's good ), but I can't put it on him because the spot where this scab is is where the med would go. It's just weird. Any ideas? Thanks, Amy |

| Could it be the microchip?

| He wasn't microchipped so I know it's not that. I will try a dab of coconut oil, but it's just a mystery what this might be. |
