Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Xander's doing well, he's just been having some minor skin issues I might need to end up taking him to the vet for yet again. I've been noticing tiny little pieces of crust form on his back near the injection sites. At first I thought it was scar tissue from using the same spot, but noticed that it was little tiny pieces that could be picked off. He also started with a patch of larger spots of crust that formed on the base of his tail. The vet saw this last month when it was much smaller, picked off the crust, and didn't say much about it. They are very itchy to him when I touch them, but otherwise he barely notices or grooms those spots during the day. The closest thing I could find online that it might be is miliary dermatitis, but he doesn't seem to have any redness like the pictures im seeing. I'm wondering if he could have had a few fleas that sparked an allergic reaction? I accidentally skipped a month of flea protection, but didnt notice any obvious signs of fleas. Even though they are strictly indoor, we have had hitchhikers in the past.
