I think bats had biopsies done and surgical removals. I totally understand your concern, Erin. Skin cancer looks like a strong possibility.

I take it you'd like these pics added to this thread?

I only found one of bats' pics.
Bats, let me know if it's okay to leave this here:

Bats had some really good close ups of those moles that I think would be very helpful too.

I don't think I have them but I found this pic.

I hope he can track down the photos.

I still haven't taken Jasmine in to be seen (shame on me), but there have been a few things of (what I thought) more importance pop up lately with vet expense and she got put on hold.

Anyhow, she started losing hair in a similar fashion that Little Pig did, around the face, neck and back of the head.

I started ivermectin, and just gave them their third dose this afternoon. She doesn't seem to be getting any better, and now the hair loss is on her belly as well.

So, I'm thinking not mites, instead something hormonal. Urgh.

They know when we're broke, don't they?

The pattern above does not seem hormonal to me. I still suspect skin cancer.

Erin, I've had two with spots that developed and they were both fine. However, each only had one spot. The photo below shows Max's (he had a bad case of mites when I got him and had skin problems ongoing along with pneumonia at one point).

I had Jasmine put to sleep today.

In addition to cystic ovaries, she had a cluster of stones in her bladder causing her a great deal of distress.

Vet wasn't concerned with the spots, thinks they were probably pigment. Though no scientific analysis was done.

:-(

Sleep well beautiful.
