I think I'm gonna have to break down and take her to the vet. The tea tree oil keeps her from biting it, but the area's skin got all flaky so I think it dried out the skin too much. It should have gotten better by now, but I stopped putting the oil on and she went right back to biting it. The free vet basically just said to take her to the vet...so not all that helpful unfortunately. Poor baby.

Good thing is: it doesn't seem to have spread any. I would think it would've spread if it had been mites or mange. I could be wrong about that. Its not losing hair as long as she's not biting it and I've looked thoroughly for signs of the same issue all over, but its only that one area that is flaky.
I got some information about a low-cost clinic I might end up having to go to for my current sinus infection. Should only be $10 though.
