Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The answer is probably not. If he is grey/silver this is especially common. If you are seeing other signs like scabs, pimple-like rash, increased drinking and urinating, or increased appetite, see your vet as these could be a sign of other conditions. Best of luck to you and Winston!
