Caused By Vaccination?

[Kirislin]

I got Nekos 2nd vaccination on 8/11/13. Within about 3 days a pale spot started to appear under her eye. It became more obvious and then another appeared and over the next few days it too became quite definite. The fur has turned white there. Someone said it might have been caused by the vaccination. Has anyone see this before and will they disappear?

I could imagine a vaccination causing some sort of reaction at the entry site but not on the face, how weird!

I cannot think how a vacc could cause this at all....

maybe it's a marking just appearing, as she grows ...maybe a scar.... maybe some sort of infection?

edit: maybe a beauty spot ? like those teardrop tattoos one sees ? ;)

Is the fur definitely white, or could it be fur missing (like a scar, or mites?)

It's white

If she's been playing with the other dogs and got some scratches on her face the new hair growing may have come through white, more like the timing is a coincidence I would think.

I have no idea about the cause but I love the pic! :D

there weren't any wounds to start with and she doesn't play like that, if anything, she's more likely to inflict wounds than get them. She seems otherwise absolutely fine, I just cannot work out what these spots are. Assuming it's nothing sinister, they're more cosmetic than anything else.

Always best to get any spots or lumps and bumps checked out. Probably nothing but better to err on the side of caution.
