Hey there! I’ve never had a cat before and just got one from a animal hospital about a month ago. He is a two year old male tabby. I was petting him the other day and found a single small scabe on his neck. Is this something to worry about? I’ve been reading different arrtices but have not found any clear answer. Please let me know! Thank you so much!

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A single scab is nothing to worry about. If there are multiple scabs or you notice him scratching excessively then you should have him to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
