First off, my apologies for my absence. I'm sure you all missed me terribly, but its okay. I am here now. LOL. I'm just messing with you all.
Seriously though, Skittles did something today that has me a bit concerned. I'm too embarrassed to ask the vet and I tried finding an answer online.
Skittles likes to preen my hair. In fact he loves too. Especially my facial hair because it curls. Often times though, it feels like he's "pulling" on it, but I let him have his fun. But today it felt like a bite and hurt and he was "licking" my cheek. Turns out he had picked off the scab from a pimple I popped and ate it and was licking the oil/blood that came out. Should this concern me? It's embarrassing, but he seems to go for scabs wherever they are and I stop him normally, but I can't see my face without a mirror for some reason.
