get acne? Yes, feline acne is real, and your cat's chin might be the hotspot! 🐱
Feline acne is caused by too much sebum and keratin being produced. It commonly appears as blackheads and pimple like swellings on a cat's chin and lips. Cats can also have a greasy coat as a result. 🐈
👇 Top Treatment Tips 👇
🥣 Switch to stainless steel or ceramic bowls ➡️ these materials are less likely to harbour bacteria compared to plastic
💦 Maintain good hygiene ➡️ keeping the cats chin clean after feeding and using a veterinary prescribed antibacterial wash
🩺 Consult your veterinarian ➡️ for persistent or severe cases, professional evaluation and treatment are recommended
⚠️ Remember, never attempt to "pop" your cat's pimples, as it can lead to further irritation or infection.
