Scratching behind ears.

[borderdawn]

Wiggy has scratched all the fur off on the back of his ears, not bald, but has scratched some off, he is also scratching between his ears on the top of his head. No fleas, no irritation, ears look clean, any ideas?

I was thinking possible ear mites but if his ears look clean then doesn't sound like it :?

Couldn't be a ringworm infestation could it?

There arent any lesions, in fact, not a mark on him anywhere, and non of the other cats or the dogs are doing it, thats what puzzles me.

Never come across anything like that before sorry, just had a glance in my cat book and nothing there either.:( Sorry

you don't think its just become a habit do you? like sucking your thumb

[borderdawn]

Habit? nothing would surprise me with this one Kazz. If he is still doing it on Wednesday, I'll ask the Vets to check everything out with them while he is under the GA.

Poor Wiggy!!! Dont want him to lose his good looks by going bald at such an early age. Hope you find out what is causing this Dawn. Does he scratch all the time, or occasionally - allergy? eczema?

Possibly an allergy, I'll let you know how it goes, thanks for all the suggestions.
