That pattern looks like the possibility of mites to me.
Can you get hold of either Revolution or frontline flea drops?
You would only need a drop or two between the shoulder blades.
Ivermectin can also be used except differently.

I can get frontline.... Do I get kitten dose? He has been indoors since a baby.... Do they commonly develop this? Although I did bring in 2 babies is it possible they have mites and bunch got it this way? Neither baby show any signs.....
Thanks for everyone's help

Yes, frontline for puppy's and kitten.
I can't positively tell you it is mites.
If it is treating will take care of them,
if not treating won't hurt anything.

Thanks 4 the advice guy's!! If it's not mites what else would cause this and only on the thigh area?

[stepnstone]

If not a parasite molt could still be a possibility as some really do get a funky pattern and very often that pattern is symmetrical so I wouldn't rule it out. Also sometimes fur loss/thinning can be caused by rubbing such as going in and out a nest box.

I got the frontline and going to go through his entire room and changing bedding so Bunch won't be happy 2 have to rebuild his nest lol..... So basically it is either molt or mites..... There is no way they are rub marks cuz bunch has his own room and 1 of his nest is under his bed his bedding has always been the poly so let's cross our fingers to figure out his issue, hopefully the frontline will work..... He's my baby don't want anything happening to him! Thanks again! Will keep u posted on the frontline...... Question how often do i apply the frontline?

I think Step is right on here. But I personally have never seen this...yet.

Question how often do i apply the frontline?

You do realize it's just 1 or 2 drops, not the entire pipette?
I will generally treat again the following month to be on the safe side,
sometimes it's not necessary and one treatment does the deed.

[LilLulu]

Yes i did ONLY 2 drops.... Thank you, everything got gutted washed or replaced
Thanks for the help
