Scabs on back

[chyra]

Hello! My cat seems to have scabs on her back near the tail; is on flea treatment so I assume not bites or allergy to them. She goes outdoors and grooms quite a lot. Im not sure how much it bothers her. What might it be, can anyone suggest?

Hi Chyra.
My cat had the same. She was on a monthly spot on flea treatment too. Took her to the vet who said it was a flea bite allergy. Turned out the spot on wasn't working.

Sorrry pressed too soon. We changed to Bravecto, and it cleared up
Hope you can sort it

I was going to suggest the flea treatment might not be working. Fleas are developing a resisting to some brands (looking at you, Frontline).

I'd check for fleas and try a different treatment.

Good thinking- the obvious solution is probably the right one- argh!
