My cat Wally has a scab on the back of his neck. We thought it was from his collar so we took that off. But it hasn’t really gotten any better? Any advice?

Poor Wally! If it isn't getting better, I'd have him seen by a vet. It may be the area is infected, and he would need oral antibiotics to treat it so it can heal. I'd take him into a vet this weekend. Best of luck.
