Re: Just discovered bald spot on kitten??!!

So just been to the vet who said it didn't look like ringworm (phew!) and looked more like an anxiety/behavioural problem where he had focused on that spot in particular and it became a bit sore and infected. He gave him two injections - one for clearing up the infection and one for anxiety.

He said it could be attributed to the fact that he's still settling in.

If it's not that, will have to try and figure out what's making him unhappy!

That could very well be it! They're used to me feeding and playing with them.
