Answer
Hi Tania,

There are two likelihoods.

If the red spots appeared *after* the injury or stroke! it is likely that her tail tingles and she is biting it to try to figure it out.

If they were present beforehand then it is unrelated, and she may have ringworm.

Write back and tell me more. She doesn't have a friend does she?

Squeaks,
