A trip to the vet seems the obvious answer. One of our cats was recently suffering from something similar, and the vet prescribed antibiotics to clear it up. -- Jerry Kohl <jeromekohl@comcast.net> "Légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal." It could be cat acne and there are a number of possible causes include food allergies ( as it was in our case ) or if the cat eats or drinks from plastic bowls etc. Sometimes there are litlte black dots on the fur, almost like coal dust or flea droppings. In our case, it was caused by Science diet 'Natures Best' - it was a little bit greasy to handle but once we removed it from the diet, the acne cleaned up within 7 days.

If you know in advance what the advice is going to be, why do you bother to ask? -- Jerry Kohl <jeromekohl@comcast.net> "Légpárnás hajóm tele van angolnákkal." to understand what it might be, scab, wound, infection i dono, just so i know how i should look at it.. i have been rubbing the scabs off and using some detol on him for the past few days. and today much to his disaproval i gave him a bath with some cat and dog shampoo and it seems to look a lot better and his fur is so soft now..

Make sure you don't use plastic bowls, ceramic, metal and glass are ok. They should also be cleaned regularly, of course. If this is not the case, it might be a food allergy. Look for foods without corn in the formula.

One of our cats had acne under his chin. Don't know what caused it, but a couple of washings with anti-bacterial hand soap cleared it up. It hasn't come back. |
