Cats
Hi all, I need some purrs for Casper and a little advice too...
We took Casper to the vet on Saturday because I had noticed about a week earlier he had developed an odd black mark on his chin. I had looked online and read about "chin acne" in cats and figured this was what he had. It wasn't until the vet shaved his chin to get a closer look that we realized how much black there was.
The vet said it was a topical bacteria growing on Casper's chin although we have no idea where it came from. After his fur was shaved she cleaned the area with an antibacterial/anti fungal soap and Casper also got an antibiotic jab. We were given the soap to take home and instructions to bathe the area every second day for ten days. It is quite difficult to tell what is bacteria and what is dried blood from the shaving because his chin was very red and raw after that was done. I know we aren't at the ten day point yet, but I haven't seen one iota of improvement in Casper's chin.
Has anyone out there experienced this or something similar? Please let me know and please purr for Casper to be better soon. Thank you!!!!

I thought I'd share these pics of Archie I took yesterday... He was just coming down the stairs after having a drink of water. Can you see the water droplets still on his chin fur? I thought he looked adorable. Here's an extreme close up :-)...
