I saw something the other day, but I thought she had maybe just been messy with her pellets or something. But earlier, I was cuddling her and noticed that either side of her mouth, she has some weird looking scabs. It's hard to describe, but sort of small little scabby areas of skin, and there's a bit of fur loss there as well.
I will try and get a picture but now that she's not sick anymore she doesn't like being turned on her back, so it may be tricky.
There's no blood or anything there- it doesn't look like a cut or anything- it would be strange as well for it to be on both sides of her mouth?
When we first got her she was treated with Ivermectin (I forget the brand name of the stuff we used now) for fur mites, but that cleared up after the treatment and was only ever 'dandruff' on the back of her neck. This is completely different looking. I did notice her carefully scratching there earlier as well, although it doesn't seem to be painful, and she's still eating, pooping perfectly normally as well.
I have made a vet's appt for tomorrow afternoon, but just wondered if anyone has any ideas in the meantime?

Thanks!
