My cat has an oozing bald spot on his neck. What should I do?

Question

Hi my cat just had a patch of fur go missing from the back of his neck, it was a little bit oozy but I don’t know what’s happened? He’s an indoor 8 year old ginger and is in good health as far as I am aware. The patch doesn’t seem to be affecting him either, he’s not phased by it so I don’t think he’s in pain.

It is very hard to know what caused this but it could be just an injury. I wouldn't be overly concerned about this right now. I suggest you just apply a topical antibiotic ointment/cream twice a day and if after a week or so it doesn't start to look better you should have your vet check him out. Best wishes!
