this morning went out to let the girls out and i noticed
molly has a bald patch on her the top of her leg, about the size of a 10p.
ive put some antiseptic spray on it.
will this be enough or do i need to treat it another way?

if you've checked her for creepy-crawly things...
might she have rubbed it off?

her coat was clear when i checked it after seeing the sore.
she seems to dislike the taste of the antiseptic as when she goes to nibble or lick she turn her head away.

is it sore, or just bald??!
ie, is it her normal skin colour, or red/pink/sore looking?

see how the antiseptic works.
our little 'un had a big bleeding hole behind her ear... one squirt with purple antiseptic and its healed beautifully - and did eventually washed off me, though not where I got it on the path spraying a sore hoof (moving during trimming, and it tore!)
so its good stuff!

check round to see where she might have caught it - loose wire, nail or screw, or if she is getting sores on her body

will do a full check in their day area tomorrow,
but if it is a sore do i just carry on with the antiseptic spray?

thanks for replying

I'd say yes... up to the point that you think you need a vet! Ie, if it becomes infected, or she gets more - could be a sign of something else

but don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine
