[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1779986, member: 24027"] Loss of hair down the neck is most likely due to rubbing at the bale ring. The spot around the eye looks a lot like ringworm but doesn't seem to have the same texture and loss of hair from lice is generally smooth. Good pics, but still can't tell. I'd spray for lice just in case and as a preventive because it is fairly common (at least around here) this time of year. Ringworm is a fungus and warts are a virus, but my treatment is the same: nothing. Sunlight and time. Benign neglect. It'll heal, whether you treat it or not, in approximately the same amount of time unless it's a severe case. As an experiment a few years ago, I treated a cow with ringworm with every suggestion: scrub it with a toothbrush dipped in iodine, anti-fungal from the drugstore, smother it with Vaseline, etc. Hers cleared up in about 6 weeks. The others cleared up in about a month and a half. And they weren't pissed at me! My "Guina pig"? She kinda lost the love but eventually got over it. [/QUOTE]
