Hey all. Lately Tilly has these strange tufts of fur sticking out on her back and when I first saw it of course I thought it was a fur slip and so I went to tug it a bit to get it. They are very stuck and she barked at me so I tried looking underneath near the root to find if there was a mat or something. I dont see anything but it has been almost two weeks since these pieces appeared and I cannot find the source. I use a brush/comb and she barks like it hurts her (she usually doesnt bark unless she is in pain). I also notice when I touch the area she twitches a bit.

Side not that MIGHT be involved. Tilly and her cagemate Gizmo have been getting into tiny tifts more than usual lately. One will corner the other to groom when the other doesnt want to and they bark and pee at each other or kack for a minute or two. Do you think something could have happened to Tilly in a fight? If so, what could it be if I dont see any evidence ??
