Odd "whisker" on back - 12/09/19 01:26 PM
Hello all,
I noticed that Bonnie has 3 spots her back where it looks like a few strands of fur have gotten sticky and possibly pulled out a bit. They are still attached to her, and don't don't see to cause her any pain/discomfort when I touch the areas. The hair (or whatever it is) is markedly longer than the fur in the surrounding area (The long one is approx. a 1/2"). It almost feels like a cat's whisker to be honest. There is one big one (Described above) and two smaller ones. They look like when cats fight and a small clump of fur gets partially pulled out. The only one that is really visible in the picture is the big one, which oddly is white(ish) but in the dark stripe on her back. All three are on her back , so I have trouble imagining that it's overgrooming given the location. Picture attached. Thoughts greatly appreciated!
