advice please

Is this normal? its under her head on her neck, Looks like she is going bald and its red, dont know if its her collar rubbing but she has it by her 'armpit' aswell. am i worrying over nothing?

That looks really sore, I have never seen it before so can't really help

I would have probably said it's rubbing from the collar but if it's also under her arm I don't know, does she wear a harness that could also be rubbing ??

nope she doesnt have a harness, she has had her collar off for two days running now, to try help it, but seems the same. started of as a little patch and all of a sudden gone like that

Logan had this a few months back. It was along his belly and came from the harness he wears, he was just after a big growth spurt when it happened.

After chatting to you on your other topic reference Tia growing I'd say this could very well be the case here. All I did for Logan was give him a break from the harness and it went away. It must have been itchy then he was scratching and making it worse.

Give here a bit more time without the collar and it'll hopefully help. Though if you'd feel better, pop in and see your vet.

thank you, it could well be her growth spurt, ive took another pic to show u all, ill keep her collar of for few more days then, if it dont seem like its getting better ill pop to the vets

It def looks very itchy in that photo so it might be worth popping in to the vets if it's handy. Has she been scratching/nibbling/licking the areas?

Nope, that's the thing she aint bothered by it at all, no itching, nothing, only noticed when she wanted a belly rub earlier otherwise id of had no clue she had it. doesnt bother her ever when im looking or touching it

Does look very sore, Zeus had a similar rash under his armpits last year, it got pretty bad, was really red and he lost his hair. My vet prescribed Fuciderm, steroid cream, used that a few times and it went away.

Harvey gets something similar on the front of front legs where the elbow is, nothing rubs here obviously but his is when the heating in the house is on and for some reason the bit of skin here gets a bit dry
