Do the wipes seem to help? I’d like her vet to take a look at her chin but she gets so stressed going to the vet and has to take calming medication because she doesn’t like to be touched. Maybe it would be worth it though.
For my cats, it happened randomly. They were seemingly fine eating those foods and then acne started showing up one day. They already had ceramic bowls and I didn't have a water fountain for them back then. For the lamb and duck it makes sense, since those are oily meats. But as for why bison triggered acne, I have no idea. I dont know if that's the case for your cat as well, I just wanted to mention it since food can being a trigger. I'd try all of the other suggestions first to see if they help. If not, then trying a different food for your girl might work.
It does help Phoebe, it's more preventative for her. I wipe every day or two, and if her chin feels a bit crusty I use a flea comb. But as I said, she isn't too bothered by me doing it. She doesn't like it, but it isn a huge deal. Oddly she's less bothered by it then when I used a cotton swab and dilute Betadine (a previous vet's recommendation).
Now that's something I hadn't thought of - Daisy's just started showing signs of very minor acne. She drinks her Osmolax from the plastic mixing spoon that comes with it and on occasion I have to give it to her by syringe. Drat, I'd better get a metal spoon.
I just used a regular tablespoon for my old cats meds. Goes in the dishwasher anyways so whos gonna care a cat licked it?
Yes not when it's a blister.
