Small scabs around the neck and ears

Hi everyone,

Before booking an appointment with the vet, I wanted to get your opinion.

I've just noticed that my cat has some small scabs on his skin; they're really tiny, only about 2 or 3 mm.

They're mainly around his neck (near his collar, which I've taken off for now) and a bit on his head at the base of his ears. I also found a single one further down between his shoulder blades.

He's scratching a tiny bit, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much.

Small scabs around the neck and ears

Thanks in advance.

Have a good weekend.

Nico.

    Alright, I'll head to the vet then.

    Shouldn't I wait to see if it clears up as quickly as it came?

    It could be loads of things: an allergy (to the collar, or even to their food – it can happen all of a sudden), an external parasite like fleas or something similar, or even stress if something has changed at home and in their environment...

    Take them to the vet; they’re the only one who can find the cause and the right treatment.

    And since we’re always keen to learn something new, could you let us know what the vet says?
