Hi everyone, Today while I was playing with Lola I noticed something on her back. At first I thought it was just a scrape-- then i noticed that it was a scabbed-over spot in the center of a bald circle. The rim of the circle is red. It's not very big, maybe a bit larger in diameter than a cigarette (in fact I was thinking it looked something like a cigarette burn-- no, there is NO chance that's what it is!) My question is, has anyone seen something like this before? I'm thinking it's either a burn-- Lola's been known to get into places she shouldn't-- or some kind of bite. Are there insects or spiders that make target-shaped marks like that? Should I rush to the vet or just keep an eye on it? It's scabbed over, so it must have happened some time ago--her hair covers it unless you rumple it up. How worried should I be here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
