It might be something commonly called "rodent ulcer"-- eosinophilic complex. Time to see the vet, in any case. > hi, my kitten's lower lip/chin is swollen all the time, and this is making > her itch all the time in that area, which in turns make her scratch the itch > until she starts to bleed. .. .. does anyone know what is the cause of this? > ... thanks ... What did the vet say? Our cat use to get that every so often. It would last a few days, and go away. We always thought it was spider, or other insect bites, as she always cornered them, and ate them.

It could be an eosinophilic granuloma. You'll need to take her to the vet. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_eosinophilic_granuloma.html Alison Eosinophilic granuloma complex. Take her to the vet and tell him/her that you suspect it. -L.
