Hi! So I recently got a kitten. Her name is Reid. She does have an URI that is being treated by the vet with eye drops and this powder that I put in her food, but I noticed something on her bottom lip that looks like a pimple? I've had her for a week and I've been too busy wiping her eyes and giving her meds so I can't remember if she came with it. It doesn't look like the acne I've seen on cats but should I be worried?

It could very well be a Rodent Ulcer, which is the same as chin acne (or in the same class), but may require antibiotics.  Is she not on antibiotics for her URI?  It sounds from her treatment that she's being treated for Feline Herpes rather than a URI. 

anyway, this could be a Rodent Ulcer, as I said, or it could be a bug bite, or who knows what
.  You might try sending these pix to your Vet and see what they think, since she's under their care.  They might respond to a simple email on your part, just to give their opinion and let you know if you should bring her back in.

a uri could be caused by different viruses, one of them being herpes. a whitehead just showed up on it so it looks like a pimple but we're seeing the doctor tomorrow anyways for a checkup so i will ask
