Found a wound.

[MattJJC]

For a while, I've been noticing one of my girls (Sesame) had a weird bumpy spot on her skin under her fur by her shoulder, but tonight I see their's a bloody scar coming from it (It wasn't bleeding out, but I digress.) Is it a wound from fighting with Poppy? or Overgrooming?

Any help is appreciated!

It sounds like an abscess. This can happen even during play time. The fact that it's on her shoulder, I would say it's not from an aggressive bite.
Over grooming won't cause a gash/abscess. It would look like rug burn, a scrape eventually. But you would see them doing that.

Yeah, I would treat it as an abscess also. At least it's a fairly easy area to keep clean!
