Hi Lorraine,

Bob had kitty acne once. I took him to the vet and they gave me some some cream, I can't remember what was. They also gave me some thing like stridex(sp?) pads. They actually want to shave his chin, but he was having none of that. I talked to the vet tech and she said that some people just use stridex pads.

That actually did not work, the first time it all looked good and seemed to clear up and then came back. The second time we could not get it to go away with the cream and the pads.

The vet then gave us some antibiotics and after about 2 weeks it clearer right up and has not reoccured in about a year.

I can get the names of everything that we used if you would like. Just let me know.

I know that it looks and feels bad but from what the vet told me it is just like a bad case of acne on a human. So while it is annoying it is not particually painful.

Good luck in treating Chipper. I know that he will be just fine.

Give the the little boy a few scratches for me.
