I've just noticed a scab on Bruno's lip. I have no idea how he got it or how long it's been there but seen as I only spotted it today (as he was sleeping upside down lol). I took a photo of it... Do you think it's maybe where he's caught it on something or should I be more worried?

I'm not too sure, he might have caught it on something or scraped himself, they do get a bit carried away sometimes! Does he seem bothered or in pain by it if touched? I would just keep an eye on it and see how it clears up, someone should be along with better advise shortly Smile

It is a small bit swollen but he doesn't seem fussed when I touch it. Only fussed in the way that I'm touching his face when he's busy trying to sleep haha.

Does it feel warm to the touch, if so it could be infected. If it's still there in a couple of days pop along to the vet.

Aww poor little boy, darcy was forever bumping and crashing around and often had little cuts! Just keep your eye on it, I'm sure it'll be fine, you could always clean it with a little cooled boiled water Smile

Ok thanks guys. Smile I'll keep an eye on it. It doesn't seem to be bothering him so maybe he just knocked it on one of his mad rampages!

Over-protective mummy alert lol!

Aww bless hope he is okay Smile I am sure he will be fine - When we got Otis he had a good few scratches on him but they soon cleared up - think he got a little boisterous with his litter mates Smile
