Chin Acne Q.

I remember someone here talking about chin acne. (Was it Vino?)

Anyway, can someone tell me what it looks liike? Bosley has something
weird on his chin. It looked
like dirt stuck in the fur, but after trying to get it off, it's more
like tiny scabs.

He doesn't eat out of a plastic bowl, but his facial structure is so
that he has a very long muzzle and big head, so I'm sure his chin gets
in the food. I scrubbed it all off with a hot soapy cloth, or did the
best I could for as long as he would put up with it. Is there anything
else you can do?

That sounds like what Nanki-Poo had, which the vet called acne. In his
case, it was from eating out of a plastic dish. The vet gave me some
medicine to put on it. Your vet might also have some suggestions. The dish
issue was all she mentioned to me, but as soon as I said he ate out of a
plastic dish, she assumed that was it, and she was right. If I had said no,
she might have suggested something else.

Joy, do you remember what the vet gave you to put on it? I have some
Panalog and also
the vet-version of Bacitracin. I'm just leery of putting anything so
close to his mouth.

Sherry Spirit gets it I give it a easy scrub and get all the junk out of
it. Than I put some Vaseline on it to help it heal. He is not happy about
the Vaseline but the medication he is allergic to it is worse on him

Sherry, you might want to put a little peroxide on a cotton ball, and
wipe down his chin with that a couple of times a week.

That's cat acne.

No plastic dishes of course. Keep his food and water containers very clean.
Wipe his chin with a warn damp cloth a couple of times a day.

And heck, I used Neosporin of Molly when she came with chin acne. It healed
right up. I rubbed it in with a very soft clean toothbrush.

It's called Virbac. I can understand your concern.

That's a good idea. Trace amounts of peroxide wouldn't hurt him, even
if he licked it before it
evaporated. Same with vaseline (thanks Matthew).
Thanks to everybody for the responses. This is weird. Out of 5 cats,
and even the RB ones, we
never had chin acne. And I *do* provide clean bowls, I swear! (I feel
like a parent who's kid
has impetigo or head lice or something)

Same here you feel like every parent feels. I find that it is the water
bowls that cause spirits problems. For some reason he taps the water dish
to make the water shake before he drinks but still manages to get a face
full of water. I think it has something to do with him being to young when
I rescued him from the hawk
