When we got Cici from the rescue last year, her chin was pristine white. The acne started up within a couple weeks of her coming home with us, so it seems like some change must be at fault? We use stainless steel bowls, which are washed after every meal. She was on 50/50 kibble and canned (Blue Wilderness, then Orijen, with various wet) originally, but she's been on prey-model raw for several months now, so I really don't think a food allergy is at fault.
What else could be causing it? Is it possible for cat litter to do it? We use World's Best Cat Litter right now. At the rescue, she had a clay litter. It's about the only thing left I can think of that would be very different..
We have asked the vet about it, and he didn't seem concerned. He just said to wash it as we have been, and wipe it every day, and it should clear right up. So we stepped up our cleaning to more often, but it doesn't make any difference other than keeping the amount of black crud lower since we're getting it off more often. It doesn't seem to be affecting her negatively, but it majorly stresses her to have it cleaned. So I'd really like to find a way to clear it up.
