Lilly has within the past few weeks developed chin acne. She's now 4 and has never had it before. Her bowls are glass (human bowls), are changed and washed in the dishwasher after each meal - and her dishes are placed on white paper towels on the floor which get changed at least once a day.
I was thinking that it could possibly be a food allergy to switching her over to Evo about two months ago. HOWEVER, I have noticed that since changing her to Evo kibbles that her previous dandruff problem has almost totally gone away, she's shedding less, losing a very slight bit of weight (which is good) and also has not gotten any little "crusty" lesions on her ears and above her eyes. Additionally she has not had an asthma attack since I've switched food and has had no stomach problems either.
In the past she was eating Science Diet Advanced Nutrition dry (cause her vet at the time said it was the best food for cats). When we adopted Forrest my new Vet suggested Wellness or Evo for the both the cats. Both cats eat the Evo kibbles and little Forrest also gets either Wellness Kitten canned or Evo canned.
For years I've tried to get Lilly to eat canned but she had absolutely no interest in it at all, but now that Forrest is getting the wet food she seems to be starting to take an interest in it by finishing off whatever Forrest leaves in his bowl. I really would like to switch them over to a totally wet diet and am happy that Lilly is finally taking an interest in wet foods. But now the acne
Could it be that snacking on a small bit of the canned Wellness Kitten and/or Evo has gotten her chin greasy and making her break out? The chin is getting a little better as I'm cleaning it 2 x's a day. But it is still worrisome.
Anyone else notice acne when feeding wet food?
