Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered | 6 lbs
I found this under my cats underarm. There’s a hole with fur missing around. When looking it up, I found it could be Cuterebra. A common parasite in cats. He’s an indoor cat. Can he still get this? My other cat and this one got in a fight around 3 days ago. There was some fur missing, when I looked at them both I noticed nothing. What can this be?
