Unfortunately, without examining Meek, I can't definitively tell you the cause of these red lesions. Possible causes include a skin infection, bruising (from an injury or low platelets), or black fly bites. If the lesions persist through the weekend, I recommend taking him to the vet on Monday. That said, should the lesions dramatically worsen through the weekend or if you find new lesions consistent with bruising elsewhere on Meek's body, it would be worth taking him to an emergency vet over the weekend, as this could indicate more serious conditions.
