Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 15 lbs
My cat has a large bare spot on the back of its neck that is very sensitive to receiving treatment. What kind of treatment should I give him?

This looks like a skin infection with hair loss from an injury, fight wound or thathes been rubbing or scratching. A veterinary exam and treatment are needed to get this cleaned up and get medication for the infection and stop the itching. I don’t think home care will get this healed.
