| Help about little Brinkley's patches..... So my little guy, Brinkley, is about 14 months now. We have had some hard times lately. 1st he has allergies, 2nd he has a luxating patella, and 3rd....which is why I am writing for some info from you guys is, he has recently for 2 small patchy areas 1 on the side of his face & the other on the top of his head where it's like a wound & it created a hard spot & when brushed him it pulled the hair away from the spot. Any ideas? When the 1st one happened I thought maybe it was from the scratching from his allergies as if maybe he scratched too hard but now this is another spot where he doesn't scratch. Anyone ever heard of anything like this. And we have an appt from the vet his Wed. But I like to get possibilities in my head. Please help! Thanks!!!!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | It sounds like it could be ringworm. Is it raised and kind of rough? Ringworm isn't a worm at all it's a fungus and will spread if it's not treated. Lotrimin clears it up. If it is ringworm...you can catch it from him too.
