I'm just seeing this Lauren. I'm glad that Sleeves made out well.

I am glad it is nothing serious!!

Cathcing up on this-good to read nothing too major-Grizzly has had this in the past also-my vet said to wash her chin using a cotton ball (or whatever they are called by you!!)

I'm pleased it's not a serious case, Lauren!

How did you do with Sleeves' chin and nose bathing?

 

[mzjazz2u]

I'm glad sleeves didn't have anything too serious. I always panic when I see someone else has a cat with "spots" on their nose and chin just because of what I went through with Jake. Sleeves is lucky that you were willing to take him to the vet right away!

Thanks everyone

Oh not taking him to the vet was not an option. I knew something wasn't right so it is my duty as his Mummy to get him the best care possible

Sarah I am having a bit of a nightmare washing his chin

The soap smells so strong that he runs a mile when I put it in front of his face.
I'm doing my best by trapping him between my legs and holding his face with one hand, rubbing with the other (picture the scene

) but it's hard to hold him for too long as I don't want to hurt him.
It will be easier when I have Mark to help me after tomorrow

It's not getting any worse at the moment though

Oh I can just picture it now!

It is funny how they manage to always give us the most potent smelling things to put on our kitties!

I'm sure with Mark lending a helping hand, things will be a lot more painless!

Great to hear that it isn't getting any worse - that's a great sign that you're managing to wrestle some of the soap onto him!

I'm glad it wasn't anything serious and it can be cleared up "fairly" easy.Holding a cat/kitten down is NEVER easy.
