I have a Maine Coon Brown Classic Tabby named Mysty, well this morning I noticed a red area right above her eye and below the ear base, in the thin hair between the two areas. I just acquired another Maine Coon kitten about three weeks ago and he has Coccidia and also the Vet noticed dry skin on his back. Now could the dry skin be transferred or the problem, which the vet said looked like dermatitis, Mysty will be one yr old next month so the coccidia is not the thing i am concerned with although it bothers me I am treating the little one with albon, the red area is my concern now as I show her and can;t have anything like this. I know i need to take her to vet unless this is a scratch but she is so big and my other 6 cats don;t bother her so I am ruling that out. Any helps or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
