    Stanley keeps getting tiny bald patches on his face then they go in a couple of weeks.

    We me too we it to the vet, she didn't seem to concerned but she didn't really say anything.

    They don't seem to bother him, he doesn't scratch them or anything but I don't like anything on his beautiful face.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I've taken a little video to try & show you because he won't sit still enough for a picture. He has 2 of them st the minute, this is the bigger one.

    Could it be small injuries as Stacia says? Do they always look the same?

    Yeah they always look the same.

    I thought that at first but he's had a few of them now. Could be something from daycare possibly. He doesn't go near any cats.

    Going to have to keep an eye on him and take him back to the vets if they keep appearing

    If you think it's a skin problem, don't mess about - and remember, vets are not specialists and there is nothing wrong in asking to see a specialist.

    If he plays rough at daycare, it could just be small injuries from that. My two often have little scrapes from running through undergrowth, too. But, if you're at all concerned, then definitely get a second opinion.
