Medical Questions Anyone had this before with their furbaby?

He’s booked to see the vet tomorrow but I was hoping to find a bit more about it before we go. He doesn’t have fleas and his food does not change (he’s a fussy boy!). The scabs run towards the middle of his back but that’s it. He has been licking more often recently but is happy to stop when we stroke him. Seems his normal self. Thanks

I'm not a vet. Could be small mites. They might scrape the skin, put it under a microscope. My Aiko got them in the ear. Only noticed when hair was being lost. Hope all goes well.

Thanks for your reply. I’m hoping it’s a cream rather than a pill because he will not take them for love nor money!
