Good news there Jamie18 - let us know how you get on at the vet on Monday.

It could be that the collar has rubbed on the skin and chafed it. Since I took Tess`s collar off after noticing she has a bald bit about 5 years ago her fur has nt grown back so I doubt it will now. She has a ring where her fur was although its hardly noticable to be honest as her fur is thickish. I would think maybe its like your puss has eczema because of her collar - glad its healing but do let us know what it is! Jan x

Just got back from the vets and they said that she has had a allergic reaction to the collar she had on. The vet said it looks like its clearing up nicely and said to carry on washing with salt water once a day. Shes also on Prednisolone tablets (Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy tablets) half a tablet a day for a week then half one everyother day. Then back to the vets in two weeks.

Poor little Maire! You did the right thing and I am glad to hear that her condition is improving. Will you leave her without a collar in future, after she's completely healed of course?

Hope time and the medication will clear it up completely, poor girlie!

Just a quick update on Maire. She is now fully healed and her fur has nearly fully grown back now which is great as i didnt think it would. The fur has grown back slightly thicker but its not noticeable

I think im not going to risk putting another collar on her now. I dont want to even try with another material incase it causes her to have another reaction. She is a house cat like my other two and thers no chance she could ever get out, so it wont really matter if she doesnt have one on.

Thanks for the update, good news! I agree about the collar.

So glad to hear her neck has healed up and the fur has grown back. I certainly wouldn't bother with another collar.
