Re: Madison -fur missing under her chin
I have been using stridex pads on her chin and it is starting to look better. I have changed her dishes. I didn't take her to the vet because she gets really scared (bless her heart) but I described it to the doctor and they agreed that it sounded like cat acne. Thanks for telling me about castor oil. I will remember that next time. Cindy Reasoner --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just read on an herbalist's list serve that a very small amount of castor oil rubbed on feline acne is supposed to help.

Could it be chin acne?

RE: Madison -fur missing under her chin
I thought about that. The vet had told me before with some of my other cats to use a stridex pad. I used that on her last night. I thought I would wait a couple of days to see if looked any better.

RE: Madison -fur missing under her chin
Hi, sounds like feline acne. Your vet can give you an ointment that will help clear it up. Also, never use plastic food or water bowls, they get tiny scratches which harbor germs even when disinfected. Use clean ceramic, glass, or stainless bowls daily. My Blue had this, I was changing her water bowl and wet food dishes each day, but didn't think about the dish of dry food much. I now dump her dry into a new bowl each day as well.

Thanks I will do that. All of her bowls are plastic. I will go get new ones tonight. Cindy Reasoner --- Gary Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, sounds like feline acne.

Hi Cindy, It sounds like feline acne. Do you use plastic dishes? There are other conditions that resemble it. It's good that you are keeping it clean, her chin can become infected if you don't take care of it. Here's the first site I found when I Googled it: http://cats.about.com/cs/healthissues/a/acne.htm If you suspect that's what she has, I'd treat it as acne.

I just read on an herbalist's list serve that a very small amount of castor oil rubbed on feline acne is supposed to help. But I would get it diagnosed, and remove plastic dishes if it is.
