Question
Our Rolo has a spot on his skin. It is very small scab. I read some info that said it could be a fungal infection or parasite.What do you think?

Answer
I'm afraid that's not really enought information to make a call on, or even a guess. There are a few things that might cause a scab, the most obvious of course is some kind of scratch or injury. It would be very helpful if you could send a picture for me to look at. Without it I'm afraid you have me at a bad disadvantage and I can't begin to guess what this might be.
