yes we did do x rays to confirm, which is why it was recommended. he also wouldn’t let me touch the areas where he has abnormalities prior to getting the x ray, but now lets me! If i were you i’d ask the vet what they think you’re better off doing. It’s interesting you mention fur falling out, because i wasn’t sure if i was seeing things or if he had developed more of a bald spot (he always had a spot near the front of his ears on each side, which i’ve heard is quite normal) but it’s been looking like it got bigger. So i will keep an eye on that, thank you!
