Fungus or excessive grooming?
Hi everybody. I am worried about Elsa. I noticed yesterday a bald spot on her back. It's in the area where Anna sometimes grooms her, cutting her hair. I thought she may have overdone it. But it seems to be balder today. I have introduced Kristoff, a new male to the group two weeks ago. I adopted him from a rescue and got a clean bill of health. But now I wonder if it could be a fungal infection? I am callin the vet tomorrow (10 pm now where I live), but any thought will be welcome till then. Thanks!!!!

That looks like fungus to me. A little athlete's foot cream should clear it up. Just apply twice a day and rub it in well.
