My cat developed a bald spot with some red splotches. What is it and what can I do? She doesn’t lick it much but does keep it covered. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

You can try using this Vetericyn Hot Spray on the affected area. If after a week of using it, the lesion is not looking better your vet should check him. It could be an abrasion/injury, it could be ringworm, it could be eosinophilic granuloma complex..... I can't tell you for sure just by looking at a photo. You will also need to get him a cone collar to stop her from licking it. As long as she licks it, it will not heal. petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-antimicrobial-gel-for-dogs amazon.com/s?k=elizabethan+collar+for+cats&crid=2Q0YY66ZKLO7W&sprefix=elizabethan+%2Caps%2C624&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_12
