Cat Acne
Hi there, Maine Coon Lovers, nice to see you back again.
This month, we are going to look at the Cat Acne , problem. What causes this horrible
but common problem? Well " CA ", is relatively a common problem in cats of any age.
It often begins as tiny " plugs " of dark material around the hair shafts of the chin
and lower lip, which do not bother the cat. In some cats ,it may progress, to red
infected bumps, which can be itchy, and painful. Most cats have the condition for
life. Although poor grooming, genetic disposition, even viral infections have been
suggested to underline acne in cats, no one really knows, what causes this condition.
Some cases are more complicated, and are caused by Fungal, or Mite, infections, and
we can try to test some of these. The symptoms of acne can often be controlled by
topical or oral medications, but maintenance treatment may be needed in order to
keep the symptoms from recurring. We can prescribe a combination of therapies
based on the severity of the symptoms, taking in to account that cats may be
difficult to medicate for long periods.
Have a purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect happy month
Until Next Month
