Hey guys, so ya one of my boys, Nes, he's a dumbo, and about 4months of age, he'll be 5months on the 24th of May. Currently he's very hyper and going through early stages of establishing himself in the pack more or less. I've watched him push his luck with the Alpha, Gizmo, to which Gizmo would merely dominante him by pinning him down and rough grooming. He's also been pushing himself on Gyro more or less. Merely he'd try to get his head under Gyro, or try to hump or pin him down for rough grooming, but Gyro is having none of it from Nes and they've had a couple of boxing matches lately. This is all during play time, sometimes the fights sound really bad when I can't see them, alot of squeaking from Nes, but he's always been the vocal of my boys.
Last night however I noticed on his rear end, that a patch of fur was less then usual, almost all gone in this one spot, there's also a little bite mark near the bald site. For safety I wanted to make sure it wasn't skin related, the bald spot itself is clear, no clear rashy skin or signs of irritated red, a few scratch marks there, and of course the bite mark next to it. I checked everywhere else on his skin for more bald patches or signs of skin issues and could find nothing. Is this possibly one of the boys pulling his fur out during domination confrentation?
