My 3 month old kitten has this weird dark area on the bridge of her nose. It almost looks as though she is losing hair there and it feels rough. I have attached a couple of photos and would appreciate some guidance on what is wrong. Thanks!

I see what you mean about the dark area on Piper Grace's nose. This could be due to something like ringworm or a skin infection. Without seeing her in person, I can't be certain what is going on, so I recommend a vet visit for her. The vet can diagnose what is causing this problem and can treat her. In the morning, give her vet a call to make her an appointment. Best of luck.
