Norman went to the vet & definitely has feline acne. The vet put him a 10-day antibiotic treatment and I also must was his chin daily with a benzoyl peroxide wash.

The vet mentioned getting Stridex pads for Norman's chin, but cautioned me to use only those with benzoyl peroxide. I went to 5 stores and couldn't find any brands of and b.p. pads (they all had a different active ingrediant), so I just bought a b.p. wash that must be rinsed off. I hope it does the trick!

Norman hates pills, and the vet had a really good suggestion for calming Norman's pill fears. He suggested I give the boy a couple of treats while he is held in "pilling" position, and that I give Norman a treat both before & after pilling him, so that he associates the act and the position with something pleasant.

Pretty cool!!

Wish me luck with the "chin."
