Bengal Cat

Sent to Cat Experts March 23 12:43 PM

My bengal cat has a small red area on the inside of her leg that appears to be itchy. Is this dry skin? What can be done for it?

It really depends on what it is. It could be ringworm so I would wash really well after handling him. Have your vet look at it and possibly do a fungal culture if he suspects ringworm.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Reply to ZooCVT's Post: No, it is not ringworm. I know what that looks like this just appears to be dry skin. Someone told me to give her food with lots of fish oils in it.............Will this help her skin?
