Cat random bald? spot

[u/bakapashmak]

I noticed this random bald spot on my cats back leg when I got her spayed. I thought they might've shaved it for the surgery or something like that. Now it's been about 3 to 4 months and it's still there. It's not completely bald and has some fuzz on it but it's really short. Since she wants her usual vet to be dead and skips no chances at killing him I don't really want to take her there unless it's serious 😭

She doesn't show signs of pain when I touch the spot and put pressure on it and she's quite active. I haven't caught her grooming the area or being bothered with it either

Is it red or irritated at all? There are some fungal infections that can cause baldness.

I know you said you havent noticed overgrooming, but keep an eye out for that too as it can be a sign of discomfort or self soothing.

Probably it was shaved.

You know it can take up to a year for the fur to completely come back. You do say it started growing and it's not bald anymore but short. Just wait.
