Hi I have a lovely black and white girl who was a stray we adopted 6 years ago. We took her to the vet to see if she was microchipped and she wasn't, and no one was looking for her. She was however pregnant. She had her kittens a few weeks later and we kept all three (long story!)
All has seemed fine over the past few years, she doesn't like the other cats although she seems to tolerate them. Anyway, over the past few weeks the fur down her left side has been coming out, it's quite hard to explain but she basically has a long bald strip that goes down to under her tummy. It doesn't look sore but she licks and atgrooms herself a fair amount there.
The past week I've noticed that she really stinks :( when she opens her mouth to yawn or just if I'm sitting next to her and she licks herself, her mouth/saliva smells really bad. I googled this and found that it could mean something seriously wrong.
I plan to phone the vet tomorrow to get her an appointment but does anyone have any idea what it could be? I'm so worried and upset and hate the thought of her suffering.
