Kitty acne ?!?

Well, Miss Pepper is doing fine. She's taken all of her medicine and we're down to giving her facials just once a day. So far there has been no sign of the "zits" returning. Got our fingers crossed.

Thanks for the update. This is great news.:)

My large boycat Mau had small scabs on his chin. I rubbed them with hydrocortisone (Cortaid), and it cleared up pronto! Rub it well in so he can't clean it off. Can't guarantee this will work with your kitties, but hope it helps!

That is a pretty amazing thing to happen, never heard of it. I am glad you are taking good care of her and i'm sure she'll be all better real soon.

My cat Ms. Thang has acne on her ears!!! It can get really bad. At first I thought she had an infection or flea bites. I took her to the vet and he did a test. It cost me $50 to find out she had a pimple!!! She is fixed. Don't know the cause.
She gets the pimple out breaks on her ears maybe twice a year. Sometimes her whole ear isn nothing but little bumps. I don't put anything on them because she would lick it off and make a mess. What I do do is simply rub them or put alchohol on them if they start bleeding. The more I rub them the sooner they scab up and fall off.
The pimples do go away within a month and don't reappear for awhile. It may be about the time for her heat cycle.
I thought that can food can cause pimples. I don't think it could be the dishes.

See, and I thought I was the only one! I came home form work last wednesday to find a patch of hair missing form his chin and some dried blood...of course I freaked out and took him in...feline acne! He is on topical acne cream as well as equal parts of hydrogen proxide and water scrub once a day...seems to be clearing right up....be patient and it'll go away!

Our water fountain gets washed once a week.
Bowls get washed just about everyday.
Thankfully we havent had an acne problem at our house. Now Mom, is another story. I've had "teenage face" for years and at almost 51 it still is a problem. :eek:
