The lesion on Sydney's abdomen more closely resembles either a skin infection or ringworm. You do not need to rush to an emergency vet immediately for this type of lesion and can wait to take her to the vet in the next day or two. The vet will be able to examine her and may need to perform testing to get to the bottom of the cause. (Please note that ringworm is contagious to people and other animals.) The vet will be able to start any necessary antibiotics and/or antifungal medications. I hope that all goes well!
