Today a close up picture was taken of Keljin's back to show off his spots, and.. there was a spot of blood red in his fur. I started crazily sifting through his fur to see if there was any injury, but he was not acting in pain when I touched the location, nor could I find any incision on his skin anywhere! So hurriedly I ran up the stairs to go take Winry out and search her entire body to see if she had gotten hurt and bled on his fur while wrestling. Her fur is white so blood would have been easily noticed, but again there were no injuries to be found..
And then it hit me.. I had just died my hair that same morning.. RED! I sniffed his back and sure enough it wreaked of chemicals! I don't think he licked any of it, as he is showing no signs of sickness (either neurological or behavior, or poop or anything out of normal) So I gave him a mini bath in the sink lol. He is nice and clean now, and he didn't even give me a fight. he was happily playing with the water from the faucet and didn't give me any struggle to jump down as I was scrubbing his back. What a good boy
Silly story and a big mommy oops..
I will of course continue monitoring him closely in case any signs come up if by chance he ingested it, I am thinking he avoided cleaning it because it smelled funny? Or maybe he didn't notice. Honestly I couldn't smell the chemicals unless I buried my nose deep into his fur. And he usually does not clean himself until after dinner, before bed time. It was a really small drop, about the size of a grain of rice. (also that's how I didn't see the splotch until it was zoomed in on camera)
