Question:


Answers:
THE EOSINOPHILIC PLAQUE

This lesion typically looks like a raised thickened raw area of skin usually on the belly, inner thigh, or throat area. Cats with these lesions are commonly extremely itchy. A microscope slide pressed onto the affected area often picks up numerous eosinophils which can be detected under the microscope thus confirming this condition. Cats with this condition generally have increased circulating eosinophils in their bloodstreams as well.
