I'm a bit concerned about ringworm because I handled some kittens that have just gotten over it. I washed my hands well, but sometimes these things can be real tenacious!
I've been meaning to get her pooping problem checked out too!
As for acne, they do have ceramic bowls, but I have to suspend a small plastic bowl into the larger ceramic bowls to keep ants out. I might try and find a tray to create ceramic "islands" so they can eat straight out of the ceramic bowls.
Doesn't look like ringworm to me either....and I've seen lots of ringworm lately!!! ;)
Feline acne is pretty common. Our vet suggested Stridex acne pads to treat it. It does work!

Learn something new everyday!!;)
It looks like acne to me too. Hopefully Pixel's pooping problem isn't anything serious. Please keep us updated.
My Sunny also has acne on his chin. He gets little black specs. I now use only stainless steel bowls and I wash them out everyday and now run them in my dishwasher once a week too. He broke out with it again about a month ago and I've been cleaning it daily with peroxide but it keeps coming back.:( I asked the vet about it last year and he gave me some cream to use but it didn't seem to help. I'm just glad it's not anything serious.
It looks more like a wart than acne to me, but I am no expert. ;)
She's fine, the wound is just a battle scar ... she's on antibiotics to combat this and any potential tummy bugs!
A battle scar? Sometimes they sure can make you feel silly!
Don't I know it? Meanwhile, she wasn't happy about the meds. She did a big smelly POOP on the floor straight after we gave them to her.Quote:

PS the vet recommended feliway if it turns out she's got a psychological problem! He said he can order it in for us :)
