Kitty question

I had a dog when I was young that was snakebite on the throat (I thought copperhead at the time). After all the swelling died down the hair fell out of a patch a about that size (4x4) and the skin was kind of scaly.

Could be from a snake bite. Another possibility is from a porcupine. About 25% of the lions I mount have quills in their chest and front legs. Lions love to eat porcupines and will often get swatted. If they get enough quills in an area, that entire area will get some infection and all the hair will sluff off leaving bare skin until the hair grows back.

Anyone else see the lion on the Pope and Young site this week? Really dark!
