    Flaky, Scaley Skin

    I noticed two days ago that my one cat was missing a little hair off her one ear in about a nickle sized spot. I didn't think much of it because we have a kitten in the house and they play all the time. Then today I noticed that there was scaly, flaky skin that just fell off when I touched it. It didn't bother her at all, but it was pretty gross. The skin was almost powdery. Does anyone know what this is and if it's a big problem?

     Thanks!

    Wow this could be a lot of different things from demodex to an old wound that you just never noticed.  The best thing would be to take your cat to the vet.  If you are looking for information on demodex check out my post on the blog today about it.
