  • Cats can get acne? They sure can! In today's video I'm going to be sharing with you feline acne treatment from home. Not all cats are likely to develop acne, however, my cat Posie does appear to have a mild case of feline acne which you will see on this video. There are several ways to treat cat acne, this is the method I find easiest as recommended by my vet.

      Hi, Sherly! Thanks so much, I'm happy to hear it worked for you. 😊Apparently some cat foods can also create the acne from being too oily so another tip I have is to switch to cat food which is meant for cats specifically with sensitive skin. This has helped my cat from getting further acne as well. All the best! 💕

    A critical step is to wash all the cats bowls with warm soapy water every day. Pay special attention to the rims where the cat's chin touches. Switch out the bowls to glass or stainless steel Should the acne persist, apply a cream with 2.5 % benzyl peroxide lightly to the cat's chin after the cleaning steps above. xo

    my first cat also had acne, my sister and i had never owned a cat before (i was 23 or 24) and we didn’t know about catne before she got it. we used warm water, cat shampoo, and makeup cotton pads to remove it every few days, just like this video. after we switched her to a stainless steel bowl, the catne just went away after two or so weeks and we never dealt with the issue again. i like how your cat kept moving places like “curse you mother, i’m trying to escape!!”

      Gabrielle Sivley Hi, Gabrielle! Thank you so much for watching.đŸ˜ș💖 I hope it starts to clear up soon. Another thing that helped with my cats acne is changing his diet. Once I changed the brand of dry food he was on, his acne cleared up almost entirely. I think because some foods can be quite oily which causes irritation as well. Just something else to look into if this treatment doesn’t help entirely.💖💖💖

    My cat is 2yrs old she never had any problems and I’ve been feeding her with plastic bowls for months.. Today I found a tiny black dot on her chin and it had specks of black particles around so I’m guessing it’s a black head. She doesn’t have flees I’ve been medicating her against those and the vet just examined her. I’m gonna switch to metal bowls as soon as I can so she doesn’t get more. Won’t take any chance... Thanks for your video it’s really helpful! 😊

    My cat also has cat acne, sometimes breaks out on his chin and around his whiskers. He's a little stress pot apparently, so that might be a trigger. It's really mild, idk if I would have noticed if he wasn't a white cat. Cleaning definitely helps. I usually use fragrance free soap and warm water and/or a gentle alsol solution.
    Stress can surprisingly lead to a lot of physical ailments in pets, my kitty is also a bit predisposed to something called stress bladder. Took many vet visits to pinpoint it. He's not a very visibly anxious boy or anything either, but giving him a specific urinary stress kibble and calming drugs almost immediately solved the problem. Weird stuff.

      Singingwaters Interesting! Did you do some sort of allergy test to confirm the allergy? I know that food can be a cause as well but I didn’t think it could be a chicken allergy specifically. I noticed the dry food my cat was eating seemed to leave an oily residue in the bowl which made me think there has to be other ingredients in the food irritating his skin. So, I since switched him to a food for sensitive skin and grain free and it has since cleared up entirely.đŸ˜ș I hope you’re able to clear your cats up soon.💗

      Buy only stainless steel or ceramic bowls for food and water and wash them like u do human dishes each day before filling them up and it should clear up and not come back.

    Would it work to gently clean it twice a day with a toothbrush? Using peroxide? I think that way would work best for Simba because he only stays calm for so long.

    My poor kitty is bengal, she’s 7 and never had acne ever until two months ago, it seemed like overnight that it got bad! Her chin has huge sores, and she became depressed. So I took her to the vet, she’s been on amoxicillin a steroid for 3 to 4 weeks her chin wasn’t inflamed any longer and red but the sores and the swelling were still there and in fact she didn’t just have blackhead she had white pustules. So I took her back to the same vet for the second time who said she thought it was looking a little better but it did look better only because they weren’t so inflamed but her whole chin was still covered in red sore pustules and large blackheads so I could not comb her chin and barely could I even touch her because they hurt. The vet then stopped the oral medication and prescribed a topical anti-bacterial medication Dermotologist use but her chin after using that for two weeks has not gotten better either and I just feel so bad and don’t know what else to do other than get a second opinion which I am leaning towards now. Any suggestions would be so helpful for me because I’ve changed all of her food dishes even though she never ate out of plastic to begin with I actually stopped using the steel and only use porcelain. I’m not sure how this came about I did have a baby 7-8 months ago but she doesn’t seem stressed about that but I will say I have many baby toys that are colored plastics and I wonder if that is actually how this all started and I wanna know if anybody thinks so too I guess? It’s the only huge change we’ve had!

    So our one cat, Hobbes, has had minor acne issues in the past. Our vet didn't seem concerned. Today I had Hobbes and Lulu into the vet for checkups, and Hobbes had been having more of a breakout than usual. Our normal vet was out of town so we saw a substitute vet. He seemed more concerned. Sent me home with a blue liquid to clean and an ointment. Twice a day. I'm wondering if your process can be used as a preventative process after we get this breakout cleared up. Hobbes will be 8 in September. We have been using only stainless and ceramic bowls for several years now. I clean them all often or after one use for the wet food bowls. At a loss of what is causing this and what else to do for him.

    I'm wondering why you used Chlorhexidine Shampoo instead of Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo? Are they interchangable? In addition to my cat starting to develop cat acne, she has several pimple like bumps, that scab and fall off over her body (they all healed) and now some new ones are present again. I wanted to spot clean with Chlorhexidine, but then I read up on Davis' Benzoyl Peroxide and don't know what the difference is. Any suggestions? Is one better than the other?

    • @yiyiluki
      @yiyiluki Pƙed 3 lety +2

      From what I've read, how long it takes to clear out the acne depends on the acne's origin (hormonal, plastic bowls, type of food, etc) and how well you treat it/do this cleaning routine. Once it has cleared and the condition has gotten better, then every other day to prevent any future break outs.
      Tips for dealing with your cat's chin: try to approach them when they're most calm or sleeping and start by just caressing their chin for short periods of time so they get used to being touched there. You can also give them treats afterwards so they associate "chin petting = good stuff". And whenever you want to use something on them (for example, you want to brush their chin with a similar comb like in the video) let them smell and inspect the object first, the more familiarised they feel with something, the less threatning it feels to them and they won't be as feisty.
      Hope this helps!

      If you’re in a pinch and can’t get to the store or whatnot, you can just use a small ceramic/porcelain dish/bowl that your family doesn’t use much. Like a food safe one. Also I don’t know if you meant like actual chicken chicken wings but my vet told me never to let me cats or dogs eat chicken *bone* because it splinters and it can puncture their GI tract.

They’re bigger that the blackheads you show in the video. They don’t seem to bother him at all and he doesn’t mind my touching them. But they bother me! I feel them when I pet him and I don’t know what’s going on that is causing these things.

He recommended getting rid of plastic dishes - so I use glass now. It got worse with oozing and scabbing as it healed. Hasn’t happened since I changed dishes and clean water daily. =^..^=

    How do you prevent it from reoccurring? I clean my cat's chin every couple of days with a similar method and the "dirt" keeps coming back. Maybe I need to buy that special shampoo. I change her food bowl every single meal and she doesn't have the bowl lying around all day so there is no risk of bacteria building in the food. I also only use ceramic plates for her. She has access to a pet water fountain too. Could it be an allergy to food? She's been eating the same type of food for over a year, so I don't know why it's suddenly come up, she's never had this issue before. She is almost 2 years old. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

      Christelle Quillien Christelle Quillien Hi, Christelle! I would try switching her food to a food specifically for sensitive skin (if she’ll let you) and see if that helps. Some foods are really oily and could be contributing to the reoccurring acne. Since I made this video, I have changed my cat’s food and now it has completely cleared up so I’m sure that was the culprit. My vet also suggests in general to clean my cat’s chin after each meal, so for sure the food that touches their chin over time must create some kind of skin sensitivity. I also recommend asking your vet if they have any other suggestions to the cause.đŸ„°đŸ’—
