Cat Chin Acne Still Here after Vet Visit and Steroids. Seeking Advice
Species: Bengal
Age: 5
Sex/Neuter status: Male and Neutered
Body weight: 11 pounds
Duration: 2 weeks
My cat went to the vet almost 2 weeks ago for chin acne and was given antibiotics there and then steroids to take home. His chin looks much better than before but it’s still not healed. This is what it looks like now. https://imgur.com/QD1iQUY When I clean his chin with a cloth, there’s spots of blood.
We replaced his ceramic bowls with stainless steel. There are no new changes in his environment that I can think of.
Anyone else encounter this before? I’m not sure what else to do.
And not sure if it’s related but on his neck there is a small patch of dried skin (?) built up. https://imgur.com/qnosuD7
