Can anyone help me with my box that I'm trying to grow a hedge out of.

Some of my past plants have had this problem and I replaced them.
Now a Plant that is three years old has had it happen to it.

What is it, is there a cure and how can I stop it happening to the rest
of
the plants?

Here is a picture of the plant.

Kev, I have seen this or something similar and it was caused by an
animal spraying it, probably a cat. Cut off the affected part only and
hopefully the plant will make up again in the coming seasons.

Judith,
I think you have the answer.
I also get dog mess in the area so I would expect they pee in the area too.

I'm going to use my ultra sonic animal scarer in the area and see if it
helps.
I'll cut the affected part off in the morning.
