Bare Skin Patch

[Chubi32]

Alright so once again I don't know what's going on with poor Claudia, she was the chin who had the eye infection and then two days after our vet visit she gave brith. As of right now she still has the eye infection but today while holding her I noticed this bare skin patch on her stomach- is this from nursing?? I've never had a mother chin before so I have no idea.. this patch was not here last time I looked at her belly which was right before she gave birth at the end of March.

It sort of looks like she scraped herself on something. Poor little girl.

Does it look scaly at all? I'm hesitant to say that it's fungus because it looks like a scrape where she had a little fur slip. I'd keep an eye on it and see if the fur starts to grow back in the next, oh, 10 to 14 days. It could be fungus...sometimes that will look similar. If she loses more fur, get us another picture so we can figure out what is happening then.

No it doesn't look scaly to me- but there is very poor lighting in my house at night so tomorrow I will look closer. And yeah I will definietly be watching it to see what happens in the next week or two.
