Hi,
Our cat has developed a bald spot behind her front left leg over the source of a few weeks. Other than that, she seems perfectly normal, active, and has no other skin issues anywhere else.
We did some research, which suggested either ring worms or a fungus, stress, or perhaps an allergy. There are no obvious indications for stress, plus it's just the one spot. Shouldn't we see more spots, or other symptoms of stress? An allergy might be possible. She moved to where we live now from another country since early january, and as a result she's been getting different food (dry food from the super market). But again, just the one spot? The rest of her skin seems normal.
To combat possible ringworm/fungus we've been rubbing Canesten anti-fungal cream on the spot twice a day for about a week now. The good news is that the spot doesn't seem to be increasing anymore, but she's still actively licking the spot and there are no signs of any new hair growing on it. She doesn't like it when we touch it, so it's a bit of a struggle to get a good look at it, but I've managed to snap a picture of it and included it below.
Any advice would be very welcome. Are we on the right track?
