| Cody's skin problem Hi. I noticed on my adopted 6 yr old that he had a couple of places on his skin that felt scabby. When I combed him last night (gently), a scab came off (with hair). Now he has a bald spot about the size of a nickel. He has a vet appt next week to get neutered. Has anyone else had this problem. Do you think the hair will grow back in that spot? This is my first Yorkie. I had a Jack Russell for 15 yrs. He never had any kind of skin issue. I have not given him a bath (groomed 1/21) because of his recent bladder stone surgery. He did not even flinch when I combed him so I know it did not hurt him when I combed him. I'm really worried. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I would have the area cultured - it could be ringworm, mange, or other things. But, did he have a vaccine recently in that area? Bc sometimes, that can kill the skin around it.
