This hurts my heart. What a good cat! My cat would never hold still, let me hold her head and neck or comb her. Brave cat!! Sending love and healing. Yay cats!! 🐈⬛🐈
Please use a warm compress on his chin next time! My cat has dealt with chin acne over the years. You can soothe pustule inflammation with warm water compresses to help promote healing. I also recommend a gentle cleansing of the affected area twice daily with a mild soap, benzoyl peroxide, chlorhexidine, or antiseborrheic shampoo, which will help flush out the hair follicles. When you use a flea comb on his dry chin it can be quite painful. I know you’re trying your best! I hope I didn’t come off as condescending.
I saw from your other comments that this has improved but next time it would be better to shave the chin or trim the fur down with a small pair of scissors. That will keep the scabs from getting stuck in it. If it comes back trim the fur and then clean the area with alcohol or one of those acne treatment pads like Stridex. Afterwards apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment that is safe for pets. My oldest boy has chronic acne and I've worked with cats for 10 years.
Wow alcohol? Ouch, sudocrem baby bum cream was brilliant for our main coon, that looks crazy using a comb like that , my boy wouldn't have left you with a hand , so you have a very tolerant cat there, there is also antibiotic creams from vet, the teenage years , I know how that felt
At this point with such a huge the best is to wash your cat chin with water and soap, because if you just comb or shave it, you don't clean but spread the infection.
I know this is rather late but I just wanted to pop in to acknowledge just how receptive you've been to all the advice and suggestions in the comment section here. Most individuals today can barely tolerate any sort of criticism whether it's coming from a good place or not. You can tell you genuinely care about and for this cat.
Thank you for asking such a thoughtful question. I accept criticism. They give advice because they really care about cats. I hope people who watch my videos can also find suitable solutions to their cat problems from these comments 😊
My cat had this problem when we used plastic bowls, since we switched to stainless steel and ceramic, they never had this problem again. And it’s been years. Please switch bowls!
@Kristina Bartlett o no, I wonder what that can be from? Maybe kitty isn’t properly washing that spot? Taking a cloth with a little dial soap might help clear it up. Hope Kitty gets better!
Please don't hurt your cat like this. Wash the acne with warm water and diluted face wash until its clear, or gently wipe with witch hazel on cotton wool to clear the grease and soothe soreness. Clean the area regularly so it doesn't get into the state where you are tearing at scabs like this. Be gentle. See your vet. And yes like other people have pointed out, food and water bowls should not be made of plastic.
My cat has smaller spots similar to these. I didn’t have anything proper and she seemed discomforted by it, so I used my hands and tried to pull them out in the least painful way I could.
Im glad you saw your vet and got some help. Its clear you love your baby and you're trying to help. Please don't let anybody make you feel bad. You do what's best for your baby.
Hi there, i know your trying your best. Just a small tip my vet gave with my cats acne is to use coconut oil which is safe for acts on the scabs to soften the area before brushing and make it a little more comfortable for your kitty. Also metal bowls being washed super regularly helps too. Thank you for trying
Thank you for good advices! I totally agree 👍 I also saw a vet and got medicated wipes, and changed their bowls to ceramic (clean everyday). She is ok now 😊
What worked for my cats was. 1) Washing the the area with soap and water really well, then combing out the greasy chunks like you did. 2) changing all plastic bowls to stainless steel. 3) washing and combing every few days until it finally cleared up. Anyhow that's what worked for my kitties and they have been clean and clear ever since.
Thank you very much! You told me very detailed information. I saw a vet and got medicated wipes. I also changed the bowls from stainless to ceramic. Now, she is ok. 😊
I would also like to add that it is important to wash all cat dishes everyday with warm soapy water to help remove the oily residue that dry cat food leaves on everything, because I have one cat that still gets it from stainless steel or ceramic if I don't keep the dishes very clean
Yes we discovered that our cat was having a reaction to his bowls. also make sure you clean their food bowls some people forget and that can harbor bacteria too.
Yes, I use ceramic bowls. She is better now. But, I didn't clean their bowls after each meal. I feed them 4 times a day but clean the bowls only once. I think you are right. I should clean their bowls after each meal. Thank you for advice.
You are doing great caring for your cat like this. People assumed you didn't soften the area first, why. I'm sure you did. Obviously kitty trusted you which speaks volumes. Happy cat !
My cat developed acne over a year ago and I did two things and haven’t had any acne since. I switched from plastic bowls to metal bowls. Make sure to wash the bowls completely. I also bought bowls that tilt for feeding, and not one bit of acne has returned.
Soap and water. Rinse well. She won't get cold just from having her chin scrubbed, so don't worry (read in above comment that was a concern of yours) Make sure you're using stainless steel or glass bowls, and wash them daily if you're able. Otherwise, at least weekly. Plastic harbors bacteria and some cats are sensitive to ceramic You can use stridex pads, but good old Soap and water works great when used daily during a breakout. It will clear up fast
My cat gets these too. Rubbing with the hard metal can cause irritation and possibly worse acne. That's what happened with my kitty. I would soak the chin with warm soapy water then use a gentle silicone toothbrush like they use on babies. The hard scabs will have to be soaked off mostly, the toothbrush should remove all the smaller bits though.
I use a cotton pad soaked in Witch Hazel to soften & loosen the acne, then use the comb. I do this 2-3x a week to keep the acne at bay. I also use stainless steel kitty bowls.
First, I used Witch Hazel too, didn't help. Then I saw a vet. Vet gave me medicated wipes, I used it. I did almost 3 weeks. Now, she is better. I change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic.
I’ve heard that if you use plastic containers for food it can contribute to acne so if you do use them I would recommend switching to metal. Also thanks for the video! That cat is super cute… and compliant by the looks of it. Good luck with the treatment, I hope it works and everything goes good. I myself struggle with acne as well so I understand that it is very hard to get rid off but once you find the right tactic that works well it will clear up on no time!
Thanks for the advice, I've switched their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic and I got medicated wipes from the vet and she's fine now. I hope you are well too
No way, the claws didn't come out? 🥺 Such a sweet baby. Those little meows broke my heart but I know your kitty will feel so relieved once they're all gone 💕 Not sure if it's still an issue 6 months later or not but you're doing her a big favor getting the spots she can't reach.
Thank you! I saw a vet and got medicated wipes, and changed their bowls to ceramic (keep clean bowls every day), then she is ok! Now, she is still fine! 😊
Yes, bowl is a important reason. First, I used stainless steel bowls. She got acne. Now, I use ceramic bowls, she is better. I have thought of glass bowls, but my another cat (douban) is naughty. I am afraid that they will break.
Thank you for the information! My vet also said, bowl is a important reason. She gave me medicated wipes. I change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic. Now, her acne is almost clear.
Thanks for caring her. It's just because of food utensils. My cat "Bunty" has the same acne on her chin. Vet recommended to use stainless steel bowl and clean the area where she sleeps. Usually. ❤️🤗❤️❤️🐈🐈
You can use a Q-tip soaked in mild peroxide and gently wipe the acne spot away. My vet recommended NOT using plastic bowls - only stainless steel or glass for feeding & drinking.
I knew there would be nothing but comments saying what you did isn’t right & what you should do instead. Of course, every comment would say something different so you’d get these comments no matter what you do. I’m impressed at how patient & gracious you were w the replies, thanking for advise instead of getting annoyed (like I would have). It’s clear you love the cat & are trying to help. I’m so glad to hear poor babies issues have cleared up!
Thank you so much! Your comment makes me feel very warm. You are the only one who don't just see the surface of the video, but think about the story behind the video, thank you for understanding me! ♥
This happened to my cat. After several months of seeing different Doctor's. I found this wonderful Doctor Vet Clinic. He told me to stop feeding the cats in any plastic bowls, cups. Just use the basic metal bowls. Reason being is that the plastic bowls harbor bacteria that cause the pimples on our cats. I was given a anti fungal cream, within a week. Our Cat's were cleared up. Also too try not to pick the pimples. From what the Vet said it is painful to our fur babies. Sending you and your fur baby lot's of prayers!
I have this problem with my cat & took her to the vet, she suggested chlorhexidine wipes. Got some medical grade wipes from Amazon & it's worked wonders. My cat barely gets acne now, but on the occasional flare up I just do a gentle wipe & the acne stays gone longer each time. Make sure chlorhexidine is the only ingredient!
A warm, wet compress for a few minutes before using the comb will loosen and soften the crusty bits and will be easier for you and more comfortable for your kitteh.
If you’re using plastic bowls for his/her food or water, try switching to metal ones. Plastic can sometimes give them acne like this. Also, try soaking the scabs with surgical scrub first.
please check the cat's food and water bowls. mine had the same problem and some one told me that the rims were the cause --- they need to be rounded not straight up sort of like the rims on coffee cups that slight rounded edge.
Thank you! Yes, I got the medicated wipes from my vet, but I dare not use a shaver because I'm afraid of hurting her. Fortunately, her acne is clear now!
Thank you! Many people said, it looks like scabs. Even I'm starting to believe it's a scab. But my vet did not mention it and just gave me medicated wipes. I used wipes before and after combing. Fortunately, her acne is clear now!
@@huabanmeow if there's pus from infection under the scab it's okay to remove them to get out the infection otherwise I would leave it alone and continue with the medicated wipes.
Bathe it with some cotton wool pads and boiled water(cooled down 1st)with some salt in and also don't use plastic dishes for him to eat his food from use metal dishes as plastic holds bacteria.This is what I did for my cat and his chin is cleared up now but I still clean her every so often just to be on the safe side.Also coconut oil is an antibacterial and is great for infections and stuff so a little bit of that on his chin and see how she goes.Hope this helps 👍🏻
Thank you for detailed information! I also changed their bowls to ceramic, and cleaned bowls everyday, and used medicated wipes from a vet, then she is ok😊
It would be more comfortable for the cat to use a hair machine to lightly trim the hairs, and then you apply the lotion and remove it with the comb. I do this with mine and I noticed that it is more comfortable for her.
Disinfect cotton in boiling water and a small drop of hibiscrub diluted in water. LEAVE to go cold and then clean the area and dry with disinfected cotton
I would cut the hair and also use a warm paper towel to soften the skin on the hair so it doesn’t hurt when you come it. He’s such a cute kitty! I hope this clears up soon :)
This is just insane. I only recently realized feline acne was an issue. My entire family are considered cat people. I have owned several myself over the years. I currently have 5, oldest is 15 yrs and youngest is 2 yrs. 3 of them were strays brought in and 2 adopted from newborn litters. I swear I have never seen anything like this on any feline pet in my own home to the dozens owned by family (very large family) and friends. With the hundreds of vet visits over the years, I have never heard a mention of pet acne from vets to the many friends and my large feline loving family. Asking my family and friends, majority were all like well yeah. Skin on any animal is porous like ours. But yet confirming this, all of them said the same, never had an issue with it or seen even a small case of break out let alone blackheads. Seeing this just blows my mind.
I guess if the skin problems of cats have something to do with the geographical location and climate where owners live. The place where I live is relatively hot
With those ticks that sink roots into the cat’s skin, you need to cover the ticks in cream so they can’t breath. That way when you go to pull them off they release because they have suffocated.
My cat had chin acne and my vet told me to use gold mouthwash. Any brand but ONLY THE GOLD COLORED ONE. Dip a washcloth into the mouthwash and gently rub your cats chin. That’s it. It totally worked and fast! Also give your cat food and water out of glass (good) or stainless steel (best) bowls. And please CLEAN THE BOWLS a few times a week. Esp if chin acne is an ongoing issue.
Please take that sweet cat to the vet or any other cat that suffers with this condition. I’m sure that the Vet would be able to offer a procedure that would be less painful than this!
If there is anything sticking to an animals fur you should either use olive oil or a warm compress to loosen the foreign substance. This will allow the substance to come freely from the fur instead of causing the substance and the fur or hair to be pulled out along with it and unduly causing the animal harm and distress.
I am sorry for my cat. I think I'm a little anxious. I also used medicated wipes before and after brushing and used wet warm cloth to soften her skin. Here is the full video for acne removal czcams.com/video/DZm-R_COA9k/video.html
Aww, poor bab... :( I hope his face heals. My cousin has a Sphinx cat who used o suffer terrible chin acne, and it improved dramatically when she switched her from a small plastic bowl to a large ceramic one. Something about plastic helping spread oils? I think also the larger opening also helped her not have to rub her chin against the bowl when she eats.
Did you take your cat to the vet? My cat also had acne but I took her to the vet before it got even worse. They told me to give her prednisolone and her codition started to get better after a week, it's been almost 3 weeks of treatment now. So I just want to say to anybody reading this please TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET before it's too late. Acne infections might not kill them but can give them serious problems that'll make them be in pain. Our cats do not deserve that. More importantly, we have a responsibility for them as owners, we should always have that in mind.
Yes, you are right. Owners have a responsibility for their cats. I saw a vet. Vet gave me medicated wipes. It works. I also changed their bowls from stainless to ceramic. Now, her acne is almost clear.
Use stainless steel or ceramic bowls only. Ensure they are thoroughly washed every day. Wash the chin with antiseptic antifungal cat safe shampoo every day. Before brushing him, the brush must be very very clean, washed thoroughly and wiped with alcohol.
do not use plastic food and water dishes they are the main cause of cat acne. replace them with stainless steel or ceramic dishes. using that comb only scrapes the surface off. just like acne in people the majority of it is under the skin.
I hope all the advice helps you next time you do this as i had tears in my eyes watching, and u have such a lovely beautiful cat please don't hurt her xo ❤
Thank-you so much for the video. I tried cleaning, but some are too tiny to get on a comb. Is it necessary to clean, or will it get naturally cleaned with meds? Please let me know.
I think you should use medicated pads (antiseptic antifungal dog & cat wipes) to clean . If you're wondering how I made my cat's acne go away, pleases watch this video czcams.com/video/DZm-R_COA9k/video.html 😊❤️
I've had cats with chin acne. I had good success with a daily wipe of the chin using a q-tip dipped in peroxide. It takes a few days, but it really helped. Just like people, all cats are different so this won't work on all cats.
Thank you for advice! I've thought about using shampoo, but I'm afraid I can't handle her. I used warm cloth first, then brushed, then used medicated wipes (from a vet). Now, her acne is clear.
You should get yourself a pair of beard clippers and shave the hair away. Your cat seems like it would tolerate clippers. This will help you get down to the skin in order to clean. Also if you are using plastic as feed or water bowls you need to change to metal or ceramic
Ok for cat chin zits, 1. get steel bowls for their food and water. 2. Get apple cider vinegar 3. get cotton balls. 4. get Dawn dishwashing liquid. 5. Get a Finger nail brush. 6. Dress in heavy layers 7. bring cat into bathroom and close the door. 8. clip your cats nails. 9. taking cat by the scruff of the neck, wash his chin in hot water and dawn dishwashing liquid making sure that you make a nice sudsy lather.. Dawn dishwashing liquid has very drying qualities. You will notice this on your hands if you use it to wash dishes. 10. Rinse all dish soap from the cat's chin. 11. get the Cotton balls and soak them in the Apple Cider vinegar and swab his chin with the cotton balls. (it has astringent qualities and will help dry his zits. It is also edible unlike other astringent medicine made for humans. Keep in mind that you don't lick your face so it doesn't matter if the astringent medication you use on your face is edible or not. Repeat until his zits clear up.
warm damp cloth also cut hair short. If it persists see a Vet as may need the sack part removed. To dry it try witch hazel and to heal Aquaphore. Poor kitty
worst case saline cats lick their fur so have to be extra cautious. Best if two people and cream cheese... Cats love the cheese and ya need extra set of hands
Hey consider using a treatment before if you haven’t already like hydrogen peroxide and the 360 cat tooth brush. It’s extremely affective where all of my cats are gone and he enjoyed. It was a mini spa day for him. He was purring and he loved the towel dry afterward with his microfiber towel
Shave the chin with warm, soapy water. Then scrub with a very soft babies tooth brush. Use antibacterial soap and finish with a warm, damn cloth as many times as it takes to remove all the gunk and crust. And finally, a little Clearasil is ok if the acne smells or is very sore. The last thing, and this is a must, only let kitty eat out of glass bowls. Wash them daily. When a cat goes in to eat, they slide their chin over the front of the bowl. Bacteria gathers there, and pretty soon you have layer upon layer of bacteri. Shave Scrub/antibacterial soap Rinse with warm water really well Sterilize skin and pop as many as you can. Best of luck.
This hurts my heart. What a good cat! My cat would never hold still, let me hold her head and neck or comb her. Brave cat!!
Sending love and healing. Yay cats!! 🐈⬛🐈
Thank you so much! She is cooperative and brave. Now, her acne is almost clean.

I used the benzoyl peroxide (bought on Chewy) and my boys chin cleared up in a week or so.
Yeah i agree. That looked painful. Hope it clears up soon.
Use a babies toothbrush that’s what use on mine
Control your environment tempurature and huminity. Don't let yourself or your pets sleep in hot and humid conditions. It only complicates things.

Also too try not to pick the pimples. From what the Vet said it is painful to our fur babies. Sending you and your fur baby lot's of prayers!
Thank you so much! I get medicated wipes from a vet, and change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic. Now, her acne is clear.
Great news! 👍 also too have you seen the ceramic ⛲ fountain cat bowl? It aerate the water 💧 for our fur babies? Too sweet 😋. God bless you!
@@teresawhite4913Thanks! yes, I use ceramic water fountain.
I have this problem with my cat & took her to the vet, she suggested chlorhexidine wipes. Got some medical grade wipes from Amazon & it's worked wonders. My cat barely gets acne now, but on the occasional flare up I just do a gentle wipe & the acne stays gone longer each time. Make sure chlorhexidine is the only ingredient!
Thank you for advice 💕 I saw a vet and got medicated wipes too, then she is ok 😊
A warm, wet compress for a few minutes before using the comb will loosen and soften the crusty bits and will be easier for you and more comfortable for your kitteh.
Thank you for advice! I used the warm, wet cloth before combing, maybe I should have taken more time to soften her skin. Fortunately, she is ok now! 😊
@@huabanmeow She's very cute. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely nobody..... the cat "noooo" "nooo" meowww
If you’re using plastic bowls for his/her food or water, try switching to metal ones. Plastic can sometimes give them acne like this. Also, try soaking the scabs with surgical scrub first.
Thank you! I changed their bowls to ceramic and used medicated wipes (from a vet). Now, she is ok! 😊
you are a good pet parent, poor kitty, one of mine has to have this done by me now and then also
Thank you! You are a good pet parent too. I hope he or she is ok!
please check the cat's food and water bowls. mine had the same problem and some one told me that the rims were the cause --- they need to be rounded not straight up sort of like the rims on coffee cups that slight rounded edge.
Thank you for advice. Now, I use rounded edge ceramic bowls. She is better than before.
@@huabanmeow I would recommend glass or stainless steel
It’s the material it’s made out of as well. it’s irritating to their skin.
Use a shaving razor 🪒 to shave their chin, then clean with acne wash/ treatment. You can also get treatment pads from your vet.
Thank you! Yes, I got the medicated wipes from my vet, but I dare not use a shaver because I'm afraid of hurting her. Fortunately, her acne is clear now!
@@huabanmeow I hope they help, we had to get the medicated wipes for ours!
Coconut oil. Heals scabs. Soften scabs plus has anti bacterial properties.
Thank you for advice! I used a wet warm cloth and medicated wipes (from a vet). Now, she is ok! 😊
they complain but always act so happy when done
I'm not sure how combing acne helps. It seems more like you're tearing off the scabs
Thank you! Many people said, it looks like scabs. Even I'm starting to believe it's a scab. But my vet did not mention it and just gave me medicated wipes. I used wipes before and after combing. Fortunately, her acne is clear now!
@@huabanmeow if there's pus from infection under the scab it's okay to remove them to get out the infection otherwise I would leave it alone and continue with the medicated wipes.
Ouch! I hope he got cuddles and treats after this.
Yes, sure😊
I had a cat with same condition. Use a little bit of olive oil or paper towel soaked in hot water to loosen up acne making it easier to remove.
Thank you for the good advice. I will record the idea. Fortunately, she is ok now! 😊
The meow makes me tear
Sorry, friend! Fortunately, she is ok now! 💕
Yeah my cat used to have this problem when I used plastic dishes for water as soon as I switched to glass or ceramic it stopped
Yes! I change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic. Now, she is better.
Bathe it with some cotton wool pads and boiled water(cooled down 1st)with some salt in and also don't use plastic dishes for him to eat his food from use metal dishes as plastic holds bacteria.This is what I did for my cat and his chin is cleared up now but I still clean her every so often just to be on the safe side.Also coconut oil is an antibacterial and is great for infections and stuff so a little bit of that on his chin and see how she goes.Hope this helps 👍🏻
Thank you for detailed information! I also changed their bowls to ceramic, and cleaned bowls everyday, and used medicated wipes from a vet, then she is ok😊
@@huabanmeow oh brilliant I'm glad she is doing better now xxx👍🏻
It would be more comfortable for the cat to use a hair machine to lightly trim the hairs, and then you apply the lotion and remove it with the comb. I do this with mine and I noticed that it is more comfortable for her.
Thank you for advices!
Aaawww no. This poor sweet kitty's meows are breaking my heart.
Sorry about 💔
That's okay, please don't worry ! I'm glad she's okay now.
Disinfect cotton in boiling water and a small drop of hibiscrub diluted in water. LEAVE to go cold and then clean the area and dry with disinfected cotton
And it pops up on the night of the "catillion".
Sorry couldn't resist.
That brush looks like it would hurt
I would cut the hair and also use a warm paper towel to soften the skin on the hair so it doesn’t hurt when you come it. He’s such a cute kitty! I hope this clears up soon :)
That should read warm wet paper towel :)
Thank you! Now, she is better. I have thought of trimming her hair, but I was afraid I might hurt her. Yes, I used a warm cloth to soften her skin.
I saw another video where they used a toothbrush. I honestly didn’t know this was problem with cats. What a good baby. ❤
Thank you💕
This is just insane. I only recently realized feline acne was an issue. My entire family are considered cat people. I have owned several myself over the years. I currently have 5, oldest is 15 yrs and youngest is 2 yrs. 3 of them were strays brought in and 2 adopted from newborn litters. I swear I have never seen anything like this on any feline pet in my own home to the dozens owned by family (very large family) and friends. With the hundreds of vet visits over the years, I have never heard a mention of pet acne from vets to the many friends and my large feline loving family. Asking my family and friends, majority were all like well yeah. Skin on any animal is porous like ours. But yet confirming this, all of them said the same, never had an issue with it or seen even a small case of break out let alone blackheads. Seeing this just blows my mind.
I guess if the skin problems of cats have something to do with the geographical location and climate where owners live. The place where I live is relatively hot
Your cat saying: ouch...stop. mama, your hurting me
I said: sorry, my furry baby. Btw, she is ok now 😊
I had a cat once that had Feline acne and they suggested that you change to a glass water bowl. Plastics or silicones hold onto more bacteris.
Thank you! Yes, I changed their bowls to ceramic. She is ok now😊
Cats get acne from eating/drinking from plastic bowls. They should have glass or stainless steel food/water dishes
Yes, the material is a important reason. I change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic. Now, she is ok.
With those ticks that sink roots into the cat’s skin, you need to cover the ticks in cream so they can’t breath. That way when you go to pull them off they release because they have suffocated.
Thank you! I saw a vet and got medicated wipes. She is fine now!😊
Switch to ceramic or stainless steel bowls - the acne will go away. It's actually a plastic allergy, not technically acne.
Thank you for advice. Now, I use ceramic bowls. She is better.
My cat had chin acne and my vet told me to use gold mouthwash. Any brand but ONLY THE GOLD COLORED ONE. Dip a washcloth into the mouthwash and gently rub your cats chin. That’s it. It totally worked and fast!
Also give your cat food and water out of glass (good) or stainless steel (best) bowls. And please CLEAN THE BOWLS a few times a week. Esp if chin acne is an ongoing issue.
Thank you for good advice💕 I get it 😊 I saw a vet and got medicated wipes, then she is ok 😊
Use Saline solution to clean and soften area first. After combing or brushing with a new toothbrush,apply Neosporin.
Thank you! Brushing with a new toothbrush, good idea.
@@huabanmeow also wash with a salt and water solution
@@msjujuz266 Thank you for the information!
Please take that sweet cat to the vet or any other cat that suffers with this condition.
I’m sure that the Vet would be able to offer a procedure that would be less painful than this!
Thanks! Yes, I saw a vet and got medicated wipes, then she is ok😊
A warm wet cloth pressed for a while would help a lot.
Yes, I used. Thank you!
Had a white cat. Vet said it was going to get skin cancer if it is an out door cat.
Poor cat. My cats are indoor cats. She is ok now.
If there is anything sticking to an animals fur you should either use olive oil or a warm compress to loosen the foreign substance. This will allow the substance to come freely from the fur instead of causing the substance and the fur or hair to be pulled out along with it and unduly causing the animal harm and distress.
I am sorry for my cat. I think I'm a little anxious. I also used medicated wipes before and after brushing and used wet warm cloth to soften her skin. Here is the full video for acne removal czcams.com/video/DZm-R_COA9k/video.html
I think there are better more merciful ways to deal with cat acne. I can't believe your cat doesn't bite you. I would have.
Yes, someone recommended silicone brush. My cat is behaving😊 I saw a vet and got medicated wipes. Now, she is ok!
Poor kitty😢 but so well behaved ❤
You’re clearly doing your best, and care for your cat. Those big scabs they can develop are frightening to deal with.
Thank you! 💕
Witch hazel oil after you have brushed it out, works well for closing up the pores.
Thank you for advice. I used medicated wipes (from a vet) before and after. Now, her acne is clear. 😊
Aww, poor bab... :( I hope his face heals.
My cousin has a Sphinx cat who used o suffer terrible chin acne, and it improved dramatically when she switched her from a small plastic bowl to a large ceramic one. Something about plastic helping spread oils? I think also the larger opening also helped her not have to rub her chin against the bowl when she eats.
Yes, many people said, plastic bowls will cause them allergy. I changed their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic, then she is ok!
@@huabanmeow Yay! I'm glad to hear your cat is doing better! 😀😸
Go to your veterinarian for an antibiotic asap.
Vet gave me antiseptic, antifungal medicated wipes.
This is why I’m glad we don’t have fur anymore, because acne is easier to spot and get it treated that way
Did you take your cat to the vet?
My cat also had acne but I took her to the vet before it got even worse. They told me to give her prednisolone and her codition started to get better after a week, it's been almost 3 weeks of treatment now. So I just want to say to anybody reading this please TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET before it's too late. Acne infections might not kill them but can give them serious problems that'll make them be in pain. Our cats do not deserve that. More importantly, we have a responsibility for them as owners, we should always have that in mind.
Yes, you are right. Owners have a responsibility for their cats. I saw a vet. Vet gave me medicated wipes. It works. I also changed their bowls from stainless to ceramic. Now, her acne is almost clear.
Use stainless steel or ceramic bowls only. Ensure they are thoroughly washed every day. Wash the chin with antiseptic antifungal cat safe shampoo every day. Before brushing him, the brush must be very very clean, washed thoroughly and wiped with alcohol.
Thank you for advice! I saw a vet and got medicated wipes. I use ceramic bowls，and she is ok now. 😊
do not use plastic food and water dishes they are the main cause of cat acne. replace them with stainless steel or ceramic dishes. using that comb only scrapes the surface off. just like acne in people the majority of it is under the skin.
Thank you! I change their bowls from stainless steel to ceramic. Now , she is ok!
Using witch hazel twice a day on a Clean cotton pad always clears it up for my babies
Thank you 💕
Have you tried softening it with oil so it doesn't pull to much n then washing after
I didn't use oil. I used warm water and then chlorhexidine 3%, and then brushed.
There are a lot of oils that you can't put on cats because their liver can't metabolize them fast enough and it will poison them.
Try switching to all ceramic or glass bowls. It harbors less bacteria than porous plastic. Stainless steel is good too.
Yes, I changed their bowls to ceramic, then she is ok😊
I hope all the advice helps you next time you do this as i had tears in my eyes watching, and u have such a lovely beautiful cat please don't hurt her xo ❤
Thank you 💕， she is ok now 😊
Did you put antiseptic before procedure and after to . It's very important to do that . Hope you did! 😽
Yes, I did. Vet gave me medicated wipes. She is better now!
Maybe you have try a ✂️ . Now she hurts because of to long hare. Sorry for my English
@@Art.5.3.85 Thank you for advice. I have thought of trimming her hair, but I was afraid I might hurt her. Now, her acne is clear.
Poor kitty
They're such a nice little baby
Thank-you so much for the video.
I tried cleaning, but some are too tiny to get on a comb. Is it necessary to clean, or will it get naturally cleaned with meds? Please let me know.
I think you should use medicated pads (antiseptic antifungal dog & cat wipes) to clean .
If you're wondering how I made my cat's acne go away, pleases watch this video
czcams.com/video/DZm-R_COA9k/video.html
😊❤️
Would a warm moist cloth help soften the acne before you use the comb? Maybe it can make it easier for you and the kitty.
Thank you for advice 💕 Yes, I used a warm wet cloth. She is ok now 😊
@@huabanmeow So glad to hear that the kitty is ok! You are a good Mom!
I've had cats with chin acne. I had good success with a daily wipe of the chin using a q-tip dipped in peroxide. It takes a few days, but it really helped. Just like people, all cats are different so this won't work on all cats.
Thank you 💕 I agree with you. I got medicated wipes from a vet, and then she is ok 😊
Do you use plastic feed and water dishes? If so try changing to steel or ceramic.
Thank you! I used stainless steel bowls. Now, I change the bowls from steel to ceramic. She is ok now.
The black stuff is grease. A gentle cat-safe shampoo will get it out of her fur.
Thank you for advice! I've thought about using shampoo, but I'm afraid I can't handle her. I used warm cloth first, then brushed, then used medicated wipes (from a vet). Now, her acne is clear.
Better soak it with lukewarm water cloth and then scrape it . It won’t hurt as much
Thank you!
Steel bowl.No plastic it’ll cause it to get worse.Use olive oil first to soften then warm compress slightly wet.It’ll be more “bare able for your cat.
Thank you! Yes, now, I use ceramic bowls. Her acne is clear now. 😊
You should get yourself a pair of beard clippers and shave the hair away. Your cat seems like it would tolerate clippers. This will help you get down to the skin in order to clean. Also if you are using plastic as feed or water bowls you need to change to metal or ceramic
Thank you for advices! Fortunately, she is ok now.
This cat looks eerily similar to my daughter Rin ❤ So cute
Ok for cat chin zits,
1. get steel bowls for their food and water.
2. Get apple cider vinegar
3. get cotton balls.
4. get Dawn dishwashing liquid.
5. Get a Finger nail brush.
6. Dress in heavy layers
7. bring cat into bathroom and close the door.
8. clip your cats nails.
9. taking cat by the scruff of the neck, wash his chin in hot water and dawn dishwashing liquid making sure that you make a nice sudsy lather.. Dawn dishwashing liquid has very drying qualities. You will notice this on your hands if you use it to wash dishes.
10. Rinse all dish soap from the cat's chin.
11. get the Cotton balls and soak them in the Apple Cider vinegar and swab his chin with the cotton balls. (it has astringent qualities and will help dry his zits. It is also edible unlike other astringent medicine made for humans. Keep in mind that you don't lick your face so it doesn't matter if the astringent medication you use on your face is edible or not.
Repeat until his zits clear up.
Thank you so much. You wrote very detailed information how to get rid of acne step by step. I will record it. Luckily, my cat is fine now.😊
warm damp cloth also cut hair short. If it persists see a Vet as may need the sack part removed. To dry it try witch hazel and to heal Aquaphore. Poor kitty
Thank you! I have seen a vet. Vet gave me medicated wipes. It works Her acne is clear now.
worst case saline cats lick their fur so have to be extra cautious. Best if two people and cream cheese... Cats love the cheese and ya need extra set of hands
For the record, I didn't know cats could get ache
Hey consider using a treatment before if you haven’t already like hydrogen peroxide and the 360 cat tooth brush. It’s extremely affective where all of my cats are gone and he enjoyed. It was a mini spa day for him. He was purring and he loved the towel dry afterward with his microfiber towel
Thank you for advice 💕
Some cats cannot tolerate antibiotics all in one go, so you can give it in separate intervals
Thank you for professional advices 💕 I saw a vet and got medicated wipes , then she is ok 😊
Cats that drink and eat out of plastic bowls get this the most.
Thanks! I changed their bowls to ceramic. She is ok now😊
Shave the chin with warm, soapy water. Then scrub with a very soft babies tooth brush. Use antibacterial soap and finish with a warm, damn cloth as many times as it takes to remove all the gunk and crust. And finally, a little Clearasil is ok if the acne smells or is very sore. The last thing, and this is a must, only let kitty eat out of glass bowls. Wash them daily. When a cat goes in to eat, they slide their chin over the front of the bowl. Bacteria gathers there, and pretty soon you have layer upon layer of bacteri.
Shave
Scrub/antibacterial soap
Rinse with warm water really well
Sterilize skin and pop as many as you can.
Best of luck.
Thank you for advices 😊 💕
