The Stripey Thing has a spot on one of his front legs that is new and I
don't know what to think about it.  My first response is that it is
stress.  He has licked all the hair off and there are a about 8-10
little bumps under the hair that is left (he is long haired so there
should be a lot of hair there and this is just some short fuzz.  I know
it isn't fleas because Tony doesn't have any reaction to anything and he
is allergic to fleas and I don't find any flea dirt in any of the place
they lay.

I want to just put a bandage over it so he can't lick it, but I know
about how well that would go over, so I need some other ideas to give
this a chance to heal and give him a chance to get out of the habit of
licking it quite so strenuously.  His stressor will be gone in the
morning so that will help.  Calico will be gone.  But I'm afraid this
has become an ingrained habit he will need help breaking.  So I am open
to suggestions.
