:confused: I just noticed it today, it was a scab earlier, but the scab fell off sometime today??...

Here is a picture of it...Sorry its not so good...Does anybody have any ideas of what it could be..

I am going to call the vet tomorrow but wanted some opinions

hmm.. could it be ring worm??

(its actually a "fungus")

Honestly, I'd call the vet for a medical suggestion. Ring worm is contagious to you along with anyone else that has touched Chloe.

(couldn't be something else.. but that would be my guess).

Ringworm is nasty...

I took in a kitten that had ringworm and my whole family and our dogs got it...

can anyone say oops?

I'd be really careful until you can get it checked out, if it is ring worm she can infect anyone she touches or that touches her...

Hmm.. could she have scraped herself somehow then and scuffed some hair off?
