Advice on scab on back

[Ellie-May]

Hi everyone,

Just done a daily health check on my girls and noticed that one had this scab at the bottom of her back. It is really small and really hard to see/feel on a quick observation.

I know this is probably irrelevant, but I did put a post up this morning about hormonal problems at the moment, but I don’t think that’s an issue as I don’t see her scratching at it and there is no hair loss.

I have a attached a picture, but it looks like where one of the girls have nipped her or something.

Hard to tell. It could be from a little nip, I would just keep an eye on it for now.

That is what I am thinking. It looks quite dried out and isn’t causing her any problems

Hopefully that is all it is but if it starts to spread of gets bigger you will need to get her checked out in case it is fungal or mite related

I agree. Hopefully it’s just a slight nip but keep an eye on her in case it gets bigger or if she develops anymore
