Viral, bacterial or parasitic infection of the skin is possible and Chloe should be examined as soon as possible to essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Old age is usually unrelated as if she is plucking the feathers out she may be actually itchy. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
