| Tiki has bald spots too. I notice he does scratch there a lot. Is it something I should be concerned about? |

| Angel did have an ear infection (yeast) in both ears, which she was treated for last month for 2 weeks. When we took her back to the vet's to have her ears rechecked, I asked the vet if it was normal to have bald spots there and she said it was. |

| It sounded like she meant it was normal in general, not due to the scratching from Angel's ear infection. How long do you think it will take for her hair to grow back? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i don't think that's normal. it might be from her scratching at her ear so much when she had the infection or it might be from something else. if she's stopped scratching and hair hasn't grown back i'd take her to the vet
